About this listen
The heart-wrenching and unforgettable tale of a world on the brink of war from the internationally bestselling author of The German Midwife.
*With exclusive audio content.*
Berlin, 1938: It’s the height of summer, and Germany is on the brink of war. When fledgling reporter Georgie Young is posted to Berlin, alongside fellow Londoner Max Spender, she knows they are entering the eye of the storm.
Arriving to a city swathed in red flags and crawling with Nazis, Georgie feels helpless, witnessing innocent people being torn from their homes. As tensions rise, she realises she and Max have to act – even if it means putting their lives on the line.
But when she digs deeper, Georgie begins to uncover the unspeakable truth about Hitler’s Germany – and the pair are pulled into a world darker than she could ever have imagined…
From the bestselling author of The German Midwife comes the heart-wrenching story of a country on the brink of war, a woman who puts herself in the line of fire, and a world about to be forever changed.

Solid Storyline
I'm a big fan of these stories which intertwine history and fiction, especially in the prewar times. Very engaging story and characters, and contrary to other reviews I though the narration was first rate. It's an impressive skill to give personality to each character in narration only.
