She kneels by her husband, his face contorted with pain. 'You must get yourself to safety,' he tells her. She grips his hand tighter as a tear tracks down her drawn, pale face. 'I promised to stay beside you. I will keep that vow to the end.' Berlin, 1944. Edith Falkenstein weeps with joy when the crowds of brave women protesting on Rosenstrasse manage to save their Jewish relatives, including her husband Julius, from deportation to the camps. Julius once believed abiding by the rules would shield him and his wife. But now he knows better: there is no such thing as mercy from the Nazis, and they must do all they can to save others. Their apartment, long stripped of its luxurious furnishings, might offer little protection from the frigid winter air, but it has become a place of secret shelter-though it puts all their lives at risk. As bombs rain a thunder of devastation on the city and Soviet soldiers close in from the east, the Nazis have only become more desperate, and more deadly. For the inhabitants, their only option is to flee. But when another raid leaves Julius critically injured, Edith realises he is far too frail to make the perilous journey. She closes her eyes and prays for a miracle. The final days of the war are here, but there is no cause for celebration in Berlin, where death lingers on every corner. Their love has been the source of their strength and survival all these long years, but will either of them live to see the end? An absolutely page-turning and deeply heart-rending story of one woman’s promise to protect the people she loves. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Alice Network and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.Readers are falling in love with the German Wives series: 'Wow, what a whirlwind of a story. I was so enamoured with this wonderful book... completely unputdownable... I completely lost track of time as I was pulled into this story, flipping through the pages at such a rapid speed, that I couldn’t stop... My heartbeat was faster and faster as my breath stopped completely... phenomenal... a wonderful story of courage, hope and faith during one of the darkest times in history... highly recommend it!!' Page Turners, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Hard to put down. I read it in one sitting!' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
