Description
The author, US based David Gillham has worked as a screen writer before becoming a novelist and the book has a cinematic feel. Though in some ways it's a familiar setting, its remarkable that all the action takes place within the confines of the city, you don't get any scenes in concentration camps or on the front line, which all adds to the pressure cooker atmosphere of rumours and paranoia.

Advance Praise
‘Powerful and piercingly real. You won’t soon forget these characters’ Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife
‘David Gillham's excellent new novel, City of Women, is built on one of the most extraordinary and faithful recreations of a time in history - Berlin in World War II - that I've ever read’ Alan Furst, author of Spies of the Balkans
‘World War II Germany may be familiar ground, but Gillham's novel -- vividly cinematic yet subtle and full of moral ambiguity, not to mention riveting characters -- is as impossible to put down as it is to forget’ Kirkus
‘A stunning debut... Gillham’s transcendent prose, powerfully drawn characters, and the multilayered dilemmas make his first literary effort a powerful revelation’ Publisher’s Weekly
Marketing Plan
