About this listen

"an engrossing and thought-provoking read that will linger with the reader long after the final page" ~ The Feathered Quill.

Based on the true story of a couple torn apart during World War II, The Electrician and the Seamstress is a beautiful tale of resilience, courage, and love.

Germany, 1936. Bruno, an electrician, and Karla, a seamstress, forge a powerful love amid the rise of the Nazi Party and Hitler’s ascent to power. Staunch opponents of the Nazi ideology, they live in perpetual apprehension as they risk being labeled dissidents, navigating a complex negotiation between moral principles and self-preservation. As World War II breaks out, Bruno faces a profound internal struggle when he is drafted into service, and he is eventually captured by the Russians and imprisoned in Siberia. His nearly two-year journey back to war-ravaged Germany reveals the devastating aftermath, with his city in ruins and family displaced.

Meanwhile, Karla, at home facing nightly bombings, struggles to raise their two young children and is forced into helping the Nazis. Through these tumultuous times, Karla and Bruno’s unwavering love becomes a testament to human strength and endurance amid adversity. Part of the Timeless Legacy series, The Electrician and the Seamstress is based on the true story of the author’s own grandparents.
