This was one that definitely lived up to the blurb.
Friedrich is from Switzerland and longs to experience more of the world, hence he finds himself in Berlin eager to soak up the city.
There he mets Kristin at an art class, a beautiful model.
He falls head over heels for her but Kristin is not what she seems on the surface.
She is hiding a whole other life and harbouring very dangerous secrets that Friedrich knows nothing about.
But when her parents are arrested under the Nazis and she is in danger he vows to save then, but does Kristin really NEED saving?
This was a twisted tale of loyalties and totally shocking at times to the point I found the overall story so interesting I kept on looking up facts online about it.
A fascinating read and definitely one for the true story or just general wartime novel readers.
Really well crafted fictionalised tale about a real case.
