The Women in the Castle: A Novel
This heartbreaking story of the widows of the failed attempt to assassinate Hitler will stay with you. Marianne is tasked to bring together and protect all the wives of the brave men who tried to stop Hitler.
What follows is a look into the lives of three very different women. All strong in their own way. Marianne is capable and brusque. Benita is beautiful and full of life. Ania is quiet and unflappable.
At times difficult, there were some parts I skimmed to preserve my sanity. This book was great, much in the same vein as The Nightingale, All the Light we Cannot See, and Everyone Brave is Forgiven. All great books about WWII cause you to question what it means to be a good person, and this book is no exception.
