About this listen

Leipzig, 1930s Germany.

Hetty Heinrich is a young girl growing up under Nazi rule. With an SS Officer father, a brother in the Luftwaffe and a member of the BDM, Hetty is the epitome of a perfect German child. But Walter changes everything.

Blond-haired, blue-eyed, perfect-in-every-way Walter. The boy who saved her life. A Jew. As she falls more and more in love with a man who is against all she has been taught, Hetty begins to question everything. Will the steady march of dark forces destroy their world, or can love ultimately triumph?

Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Book Thief and Kate Furnivall.

Louise Fein’s first novel is a stunning and heart-felt love story and it’s consequences for Hetti and Walter. I loved it and the hope it gave me, despite the challenging parts, where everything appears to be going wrong. A brilliant debut, beautifully narrated. You will need several tissues.
