What an incredible book.
Historical fiction based on real people are becoming one of my favorites. This book follows several women during the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. Majority of the women in this book were real people, including Mildred Fish-Harnack who was an American woman from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she became a key figure in the German resistance against the Nazi regime. She was executed by the Nazis in 1943 on direct orders from Hitler, making her the only American woman to be executed by his direct command during World War I.
This book will make you question yourself, what would you have done in their shoes, it may even make you question yourself now in present times. It's not all war and secret resistance either, they had lives, families, and in the beginning you can see how different they were and yet how they came to know one another and band together to the very end.
