Description

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In war they made impossible choices.  Now can they live with them?

Amid the ashes of Nazi Germany's defeat, Marianne von Lingenfels returns to the once-grand castle of her husband's ancestors. The widow of a resister murdered in the failed plot to assassinate Hitler, Marianne plans to uphold her promise: to find and protect her fellow resistance widows, and their children.

Travelling across the smouldering wreckage of her homeland Marianne rescues six-year-old Martin from a Nazi reeducation home, then his mother from occupying Red Army soldiers. In one of the refugee camps, she locates Ania - another resister's wife - and her two boys.

Marianne is certain their shared pain will hold them together, but she quickly finds the world is now infinitely more complicated, filled with secrets and lies. All three women must come to terms with the choices they made before, during and after the war.

An evocative and enthralling novel exploring what it means to survive and, ultimately, to learn to live in the wake of unimaginable hardship.
