Found it very interesting didn’t realised it was based on real events, a good book.
I too my own surprise enjoyed this book and found it to be very interesting despite the fact that I often find this genre to be quite hard to read at times.
I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would - historical fiction is not really my bag, but I found this to be very engaging.

Based on a true story, Stella is and about a woman who helps Gestapo identify Jews in WW2 Nazi Germany. It is heartbreaking at parts, terrifying at many and the protagonist finds himself falling in love with a complicated woman. A Swiss man touring Berlin - Germany, he wants to see the war for himself and "experience" Berlin, borrow some German courage - as he tells his father.
Their love story is constricted and claustrophobic.
So I overall found it to be an interesting book
