The widow of a resister murdered in the failed July 20, 1944, plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Marianne plans to uphold the promise she made to her husband's brave conspirators: to find and protect their wives, her fellow resistance widows. First Marianne rescues six-year-old Martin, the son of her dearest childhood friend, from a Nazi reeducation home. Together, they make their way across the smoldering wreckage of their homeland to Berlin, where Martin's mother, the beautiful and naive Benita, has fallen into the hands of occupying Red Army soldiers. Then she locates Ania, another resister's wife, and her two boys, now refugees languishing in one of the many camps that house the millions displaced by the war. As Marianne assembles this makeshift family from the ruins of her husband's resistance movement, she is certain their shared pain and circumstances will hold them together. But she quickly discovers that the black-and-white, highly principled world of her privileged past has become infinitely more complicated, filled with secrets and dark passions that threaten to tear them apart. Eventually, all three women must come to terms with the choices that have defined their lives before, during, and after the war--each with their own unique share of challenges. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1945-1955 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Castles $z Bavaria $z Bavaria $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 15 945 $a lpt 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716021353.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629013211.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310013915.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015258.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722054432.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323025708.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20200310041149.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20181024011411.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010010553.0 952 $l DHPB993 $d 20170720011136.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20170719011116.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20170523020715.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170518012938.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20170429010302.0 952 $l ACPD686 $d 20170418013846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=049983BA144511E7A7875A7BDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
