"Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bolz receives from her beloved Oma. But 17-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to glimpse through music, books - and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for.

Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job - and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to survive - and finally, to speak out.

Set against the backdrop of the German homefront, this is an unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its wake.

Storyline excellent, great characters, but sadly let down by a narrator who felt she needs to shout the story at you some of the time.

Why use an American narrator for a novel set in Germany?

The narrator sounded monotone and reads really fast without much punctuation except when doing characters voices, made it a difficult listen to be honest and distracting from the storyline. That being said the storyline is good. I'll be making sure I avoid this narrator in future though. Last book I heard from Ellen Marie Wiseman - all brilliantly written!

Good story but narrator let it down for me
