City of Women - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:David R. Gillham, Suzanne Bertish (Narrator) A gripping tale of life in Berlin at the height of the Second World War that explores romance, duplicity and the unfathomable choices we are forced to make, David Gillham's "City of Women" will appeal to fans of "The Postmistress" by Sarah Blake and "Charlotte Gray" by Sebastian Faulks. — In the very darkest hour... more », who do you trust, who do you love, and who can be saved? It is 1943 - the height of the Second World War. With the men taken by the army, Berlin has become a city of women. And while her husband fights on the Eastern Front, Sigrid Schroder is, for all intents and purposes, the model soldier's wife: she goes to work every day, does as much with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares for her meddling mother-in-law. But behind this facade is an entirely different Sigrid, a woman who dreams of her former Jewish lover, who is now lost in the chaos of the war.
Sigrid's tedious existence is turned upside-down when she finds herself hiding a mother and her two young daughters: could they be her lover's family? Now she must make terrifying choices that could cost her everything.
