Books Descriptions
This never-before-translated masterpiece?by a heroic best-selling writer who
saw his life crumble when he wouldn?t join the Nazi Party?is based on a true
story.It presents a richly detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis and
tells the sweeping saga of one working-class couple who decides to take a stand
when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each
other against the awesome power of the Reich, they launch a simple, clandestine
resistance campaign that soon has an enraged Gestapo on their trail, and a
world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in.In the
end, it?s more than an edge-of-your-seat thriller, more than a moving romance,
even more than literature of the highest order?it?s a deeply stirring story of two
people standing up for what?s right, and for each other.
