Summary
Munich: smoke filled the air.
Lilli Sternberg’s quickening heart sounded an alarm as she rounded the street corner. Lifting her gaze to the rooftops, a roaring blaze of thick flames engulfed the side of the building and joined the stars to fill the black sky. Her father’s shop was no more.
Lilli Sternberg longs to be a ballet dancer. But outside the sanctuary of the theatre, Munich is no longer a place for dreams.
The Nazi party are gaining power, and the threats to Jewish families increasing. Even Lilli’s family shop was torched because of their faith.
When Lilli meets Captain Marco Zeiller during a chance encounter, her heart soars. He is the perfect gentleman, and her love for him feels like a bright hope under a bleak sky.
But battle lines are being drawn, and Marco has been spotted by the Reich as an officer with potential. Lilli means more to him than anything, and he knows he must find a way out.
With their lives on the line, will Marco and Lilli survive the growing Nazi threat, or do they risk losing everything in the fight to be free?
An absolutely gripping and emotional historical fiction novel about love, courage and betrayal for fans of My Name Is Eva and A Woman of War.

Enjoyable but…
I enjoyed listening to this as there were lots of twists and turns but feel a bit cheated by the ending. The story goes into great detail about the characters early lives and you really sensed the build up and atmosphere…but then it just ended? It was almost as if the author got bored or had completed the requisite word count and wanted to wrap everything up neatly in just one chapter? To me there was enough material to write a second book and a big enough cliff hanger to finish this one on but the story just leapt to present day? Eh?! What happened to the bit in between?!

Moving story
Very poignant and moving story. Made me want to go away and research the history of Edward and Mrs Simpson. Good narration too.

A great read Well narrated
I thought this story was going to be cheesy but as the story developed it was really good It had so many different storyline running through so it stayed interesting I didn't quite believe the SS soilder being a british agent he could have been a renege officer attached to like-minded germans The ending was sad but it did finish the story well

Okay but poor ending
It was a good story but things just didn't add up throughout. Hated the end, after all the detail it just finished very lame
