About this listen

The bestselling author of The Designer presents a sweeping story of blind faith, family allegiance and how love makes one man question everything he thought he knew.

Max Wolff is a committed soldier of the Reich. So when he is sent home wounded, only to discover that his mother is sheltering two young Jewish women in their home, he is outraged.

His mother’s act of mercy is a gross betrayal of everything Max stands for. He has dedicated his life to Nazism, fighting to atone for the shame of his anti-Hitler father’s imprisonment. It’s his duty to turn the sisters over to the Gestapo. But he hesitates, and the longer Max fails to do his duty, the harder it becomes.

When Allied bombers fill the skies of Germany, Max is forced to abandon all dogma and face the brutality of war in order to defend precious lives. But what will it cost him?

What a powerful story… I listened to this in three days and my heart cried in various parts. I read tons of holocaust fiction and this gave such perspectives that I really hadn’t heard before. So many points were just cruel in how they were resolved but I’m sure historically that’s what could have happened and did to so many.
I miss Max… he was a truly good soul. How utterly imaginable it is to think of not being able to hold a conversation with others about anything other than who you both have lost, and then in old age recount stories of those who only exist for you- with not a single memento that any of them ever lived… I wish the generations today could recognize what real hardship is and appreciate life and the gifts they have…

Markus Gabriel can really spin a yarn. Each book is as good as the last. I'll be looking for another one of his books soon.

Great author

I rarely write a review but this one earned one. in the beginning the war send to be merely a back drop. But the author have us a space to get to know the characters before sending them into the war. It was beautiful, interesting, sad, scary, and joyful. Bad things happen to everyone. It's how we put the pieces back together that reveals our character, wisdom, and true nature.

4.5 stars!

I loved this book because it told of a different side than I usually listen to. We must know the German civilians suffered when the Russians invaded and the Americans too. The author did a beautiful job with the characters & the research was in-depth. It’s a beautiful story, I wish everyone would read/listen to it! The narrator was perfect.
