It isn't easy for a woman to cut loose in 1890s Berlin. But the winds of change are blowing, and nothing can stop Josephine from pursuing her dreams.
After the tragic death of her little brother, Josephine travels to the Black Forest to heal. There she discovers a feeling of freedom astride a brand-new invention called the "velocipede". The very idea of a woman on a bicycle is beyond taboo - it is indecent and even illegal - but Josephine will not be deterred. She simply needs to find a way to ride without provoking a scandal. Back home, Josephine has the brilliant idea of riding under cover of night, while the world is still asleep. But Berlin's streets are dangerous, especially on a bicycle.
Can Josephine's fighting heart help her overcome the obstacles in her path? Will the passion she feels for this new adventure lead her toward true love?

The story is interesting so far, I'm looking forward to next two books. A final important review, the narrator is really great, soft voice and incredible performance, hopefully it won't change.
The German accent is quite lovely.

Would you listen to While the World Is Still Asleep again? Why?
Yes, I have become a fan of Petra Durst-Benning and it all started with this book.Who was your favorite character and why?
It's hard not to love and admire the main character of the story, Josephine. She is strong despite all that she must overcome in her life.Which scene was your favorite?
I have many favorite scences, it's too hard for me to pick just one. The author has such a way of describing settings that the picture is so vivid in your mind, like being there with Jo.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I give stars to books that make me emotional, I cried!Any additional comments?
Looking forward to more from this author!Enjoyable!

The performance was (sorry, but) really annoying. The German accents were random, only some Germans had them? They didn't add to the story at all, just distracted from it. Also the narrator sounded about as flat as Siri. The lack of inflection in the reading was
disappointing.
Nearly awesome
