How you can do the impossible in keeping your family alive and survive the unthinkable.
Very moving and though provoking story.
Three German women brought together after the war and living together in an old family castle. Depicts life for Germany after the war and the guilt and shame felt by many. All three women are very different personalities. Two were married to resistors, one of those is formerly wealthy but the other a small town farm girl. Talks about their life after the war, their emotions and how they pick up the pieces and move on.
A painful, yet beautiful look at Germany before, during, and after WWII. Why became of the wives of the Nazis, and Resisters. One of the best historical fiction books out there today. What brings these women together after the war, and what eventually tears them apart is a story that needs to be told. The shame that many German people felt after the war, was then heaped on their children's shoulders, and by the time their grandchildren were old enough to understand about the war and all that it entails became just a distant if not painful memory.
