About this listen
Based on the true story of the Nazi massacre of a French village in 1944, an unforgettable tale of love and redemption from the best-selling author of The German Girl.
New York City, 2015: Elise Duval, 80 years old, receives a phone call from a woman recently arrived from Cuba bearing messages from a time and country that she's long forgotten. A French Catholic who arrived in New York after World War II, Elise and her world are forever changed when the woman arrives with letters written to Elise from her mother in German during the war, unravelling more than seven decades of secrets.
Berlin, 1939: Bookstore owner and recent widow Amanda Sternberg is fleeing Nazi Germany with her two young daughters, heading towards unoccupied France. She arrives in Haute-Vienne with only one of her girls. Their freedom is short-lived and soon they are taken to a labour camp.
Inspired by one of the most shocking atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis during World War II, the 1944 massacre of all the inhabitants of the village of Oradour-Sur-Glane in the south of France, The Daughter's Tale is a beautifully crafted family saga of love, survival, and hope against all odds.

Heartbreaking
What a heart-wrenching story that takes you on a journey. I really felt for the characters and what they went through. Shocking and sad, hopeful but never happy, I was so invested from start to finish. Not my usual read, nor do I enjoy female narrators usually, but this one was excellent. Get the tissues, you'll need them.

Disappointing
This could have been such an interesting book. But... overwritten, full of deadening detail that buries an interesting idea in trivia.
