About this listen
Four generations of women experience love, loss, war and hope from the rise of Nazism to the Cuban Revolution and, finally, the fall of the Berlin Wall in this sweeping novel from the internationally bestselling author of The German Girl.
Sydney Morning Herald Best Reads of the Year for 2023
Berlin, 1931: Ally Keller, a talented young poet, is alone and scared when she gives birth to a mixed-race daughter she names Lilith. As the Nazis rise to power, Ally knows she must keep her baby in the shadows to protect her against Hitler’s deadly ideology of Aryan purity. But as she grows, it becomes more and more difficult to keep Lilith hidden, so Ally sets in motion a dangerous and desperate plan to send her daughter across the ocean to safety.
Havana, 1958: Now an adult, Lilith has few memories of her mother or her childhood in Germany. Besides, she’s excited for her future with her beloved Martin, a Cuban pilot with strong ties to the Batista government. But as the flames of revolution ignite, Lilith and her newborn daughter, Nadine, find themselves at a terrifying crossroads.
Berlin, 1988: Nadine has spent her entire life avoiding the truth about her own family’s history. It takes her daughter, Luna, to convince her to uncover the truth about the choices her mother and grandmother made to ensure the survival of their children. And it will fall to Luna to come to terms with a shocking betrayal that changes everything she thought she knew about her family’s past.

"A moving historical saga woven from threads of persecution, guilt, sacrifice and survival." (Sydney Morning Herald)
"The Night Travelers depicts the dangers mixed race people faced under the Nuremberg Race Laws of the 1930s, and the fateful voyage of the St Louis liner to Cuba. Based on historical events, Armando has written a tale of love and survival, and the trauma of displacement in a new land as secrets and pain of the past follow new generations. A very good read." (Maya Lee, co-author of The Nazis Knew My Name)

An epic story
Well told story of loss through many generations. Would have preferred a female narrator, but good narrator.

Good, but needed more development
I felt rushed throught this novel, with jumps of months, years or even decades at a time, before the characters had been given time to develop, and without a chance for me to develop attachment to them. Good ideas and epic timeline, maybe just needed more time as felt a bit superficial or glib. But broadly enjoyable

Beauty of resilience and hope
I loved this story for two important reasons: 1. Even though this is fictional, historical depictions are very real and must not be forgotten. 2. The grace and beauty of these women and their ability to hope in the most desperate conditions.
