Brought to you by Penguin.

Berlin 1920

Two babies are born.

Two brothers. United and indivisible, sharing everything. Twins in all but blood.

As Germany marches into its Nazi Armageddon, the ties of family, friendship and love are tested to the very limits of endurance. And the brothers are faced with an unimaginable choice... Which one of them will survive?

I couldn't stop listening to this story, so was more than happy to do my dusting, but resentful of the hoovering as then I couldn't hear it! It was an education to me (and to many people I have spoken to since) that the Jews in Germany were being treated so badly so many years before the outbreak of World War Two. All the characters were totally believable, as were the twists and turns of the story. Towards the end, I thought I had worked out what the twist of the story was, and I was right, but it in no way spoilt it for me. I will look out for more stories by both author and narrator.

Dusting was a pleasure!

A very compelling subject to address, clearly a huge amount of research was required. Throughly intrigued by the startling and terrifying predicaments the main characters faced and the cunning solutions employed to short circuit the evil regimes brutish omnipotent control.
Superbly narrated

Throughly gripping

Brought me to tears on times, made me realize the cruelty the Jews suffered years before the war. New to audible. So pleased I stuck with it as quite long but worth it. Intend listening to more of Ben Elton.

Brilliant!

I learnt so much about pre war Germany from this book while at the same time enjoying a compelling story. Fascinating characters in a horrifying setting. My only criticism is that it is a very long listen. He is writing about a horrific time. Many of the things that happen are so awful that it’s hard to believe people could do that but it is a very long book which his habit of repetition for emphasis makes even longer. If there was a star rating for writing style I would have given that four.
The narrator is excellent.

Great story

This book was recommended to me by a friend & I'm pleased he did. It's a complex piece of writing but the story is compelling enough to defeat the mind-dragons that would normally protect me from this particular period of our World History. Thought provoking, entertaining & educational - thank you Ben Elton & Jot Davies very much!
