About this ebook
FROM THE AUTHOR OF STASILAND & WIFEDOM
A powerful love story that tells the heroic and tragic true story of the German resistance in World War II that resonates deeply in today’s political climate.
When Hitler comes to power in 1933, a tight-knit group of friends and lovers become hunted outlaws overnight. United in their resistance to the madness and tyranny of Nazism, they must flee the country.
Dora, passionate and fearless, her lover, the great playwright Ernst Toller, her younger cousin Ruth and Ruth's husband Hans find refuge in London. Here they take breath-taking risks in order to continue their work in secret.
But England is not the safe haven they think it to be, and a single, chilling act of betrayal will tear them apart . . .
'Spellbinding . . . there are echoes of the best espionage tales' Sunday Telegraph
'A superb novel that transcends its setting. This book is a wonder. Do, please, read it' Spectator
'A story of courage and betrayal . . . she has captured the atmosphere of what it must have been like to have been at the centre of the left-wing movement in post-war Germany' Evening Standard
