This is the first Chiaverini book I've read and I would not hesitate to read another. Chiaverini created realistic characters who were ordinary women who joined together to create a resistance cell in opposition of the fascism that was spreading through Berlin prior to and during WW2. It was a realistic glimpse of the destruction of civil liberties and atrocities that eventually led to a totalitarian state.
Very upsetting because of all the similarities between what happened there and what is happening in America now. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it and America seems headed in that direction. Be afraid... be very afraid!
