The runaway Australian bestseller about love and loss in wartime Germany, inspired by a true story.

1943 ... The choices she makes will change her life forever.

Growing up in Hitler’s Germany, Charlotte von Klein has big dreams for the future. Her mind is full of plans for a sumptuous wedding to her childhood sweetheart Heinrich while working for the Luftwaffe, proudly giving her all for the Fatherland.

But in 1943, the tide of the war is turning against Germany, and Lotte’s life of privilege and comfort begins to collapse around her. As Hitler’s Reich abandons Germany and the country falls to the Allied forces, Lotte is forced to flee from the unfolding chaos to the country with the darkly attractive Erich Drescher, her Luftwaffe superior.

Amid the danger, pain and heartbreak, Lotte must forge a new life for herself. But as the country struggles to find its future, shadows of the past come rushing back and Lotte finds herself questioning everything she has fought for – love, duty and freedom.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tania Blanchard is an author and writes historical fiction inspired by her family history. Coming from a family with rich cultural heritage, stories have always been in her blood. She grew up listening to her grandparents’ fascinating tales of life during World War Two and migration to Australia. So it comes as no great surprise that besides writing and reading, her other great passion is history.

Her first novel, 'The Girl from Munich', was a runaway bestseller and shortlisted for the ABIA New Writers’ Award. Her other novels, 'Suitcase of Dreams' and 'Letters from Berlin', followed soon after. Her fourth book, ‘Echoes of War,’ will be released in September 2021. All her novels are inspired by family stories.

Tania lives in Sydney with her husband and three children where she can often be found in the kitchen, cooking up a storm for her family, including her two cheeky but lovable dogs who think they’re human too.

Excellent book

I couldn’t put this book down. Growing up in Australia we were given a certain view of the Germans during WW2. This book had me see the human side of the people, being under pressure and learning the real reality of what happened to those ideals.
I recommend this book to everyone to read

It is a story written about the other side of the war, a girl growing up in Germany, have thoroughly loved it as we forget there were two sides. Love the main character and her hard decisions in a time of turmoil, her heart is really tested, would recommend it as a must read.

Too much romance, not enough history

Reviewed in the United States on 29 September 2017

Verified Purchase

I was disppointed with this book after seeing 5 star reviews. The main character, Lotte, was immature and unlikeable for most of the book. The central plot was a love triangle Lotte finds herself in, which seems unlikely and trivial given the historical setting. This book also lacked suspense. Fresh details beyond the blurb were not revealed until well past halfway. I don't intend to buy the sequel.
