Katya never wanted to look after Gretchen. Now she’s the young girl’s only hope of survival.

1937. Katya Komarovsky is studying medicine in Glasgow, living among friends and eager to begin her career as a doctor. But when her spendthrift parents announce that they’ve run out of money and are facing ruin—and that she’ll now have to support them by working as a governess in Vienna—the life she’s dreamed of goes up in smoke.

Furiously resentful, Katya rages at her wealthy employer, Thor, for stealing her future—and saddling her with twelve-year-old Gretchen, a deeply troubled child who has only a blazing musical talent to redeem her. Yet as Katya grudgingly digs into her reserves of compassion, she finds herself losing her heart to both father and daughter.

Storm clouds are gathering, though, and when Hitler annexes Austria, patriot Thor is arrested, leaving Katya wholly responsible for saving ‘imperfect’ Gretchen from being forced into a Nazi medical research laboratory. With the terrifying uncertainty of the new world order, can Katya and Gretchen flee to safety? And dare they dream of ever seeing Thor again?

I loved this book. the story was difficult to listen at times. the interrogations by the gestapo were undertaken with sensitivity but powerful enough to make me think. the story was simply beautiful.
I would definitely as recommend and have already started my next marius Gabriel novel.

absolutely brilliant

I liked the flow of the story, very easy to listen to, giving a good account of life under the Nazi regime, would have liked to know what percentage of Austrians fully supported Hitler, would recommend this audiobook.

A well written account of Nazism in Austria

Gripping story telling

This was a great book; the story takes you to the heart of the nazis invasion of Austria. It is so hard to listen to, I found myself dreading what would befall Katya and Grechen next. Thank goodness for the few kind souls they found along the way

It's almost too difficult to listen to

This was amazing, and I can see this becoming a film.

The writing made me feel I was with Katya throughout this extraordinary book. The emotions were so palpable.

The book was well researched, combining historical fact with fiction which made the book come alive.
Especially enjoyed the dinners with Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalysis chats. Also a glimpse into the work of Dr Asperger and some of his early ideas and work at his clinic,

Narration faultless, full of emotion and meaning.

Extraordinary tale.
