A Novel

De: Louise Fein

Narrado por: Marisa Calin

For fans of The Nightingale and All the Light We Cannot See, a spellbinding story of impossible love set against the backdrop of the Nazi regime.

She must choose between loyalty to her country or a love that could be her destruction....

As the dutiful daughter of a high-ranking Nazi officer, Hetty Heinrich is keen to play her part in the glorious new Thousand Year Reich. But she never imagines that all she believes and knows about her world will come into stark conflict when she encounters Walter, a Jewish friend from the past, who stirs dangerous feelings in her. Confused and conflicted, Hetty doesn’t know whom she can trust and where she can turn to, especially when she discovers that someone has been watching her.

Realizing she is taking a huge risk - but unable to resist the intense attraction she has for Walter - she embarks on a secret love affair with him. Together, they dream about when the war will be over and plan for their future. But as the rising tide of anti-Semitism threatens to engulf them, Hetty and Walter will be forced to take extreme measures.

Will the steady march of dark forces destroy Hetty’s universe - or can love ultimately triumph? Propulsive, deeply affecting, and inspired by the author’s family history, Daughter of the Reich is a mesmerizing pause-resister filled with vivid characters and a meticulously researched portrait of Nazi Germany. In this riveting story of passion, courage, and morality, Louise Fein introduces a bold young woman determined to tread the treacherous path of survival and freedom, showing listeners the strength in the power of love and reminding us that the past must never be forgotten.

Wonderful!!

I do not normally write reviews but given this is Louise Fein’s first book and I would love to read more books written by her, I thought I would. This was an amazing novel that kept me turning the pages anxious to find out what would happen next. In the end it brought me to tears which is no easy task! Fabulous novel, I’m an instant fan! Look forward to reading more by this talented author!

Nice story

Did not care for the end. Left me with too many questions about different characters, but it was entertaining.

Such a touching story

I can’t stop thinking about how this book made me feel when it was finished. I couldn’t stop the tears. The author has such a way of describing the emotions of everything the characters went through. I felt like I could feel their pain. The narrator did a great job using the emotion to capture every moment. I was very touched by this book. One I will be thinking of for a long time.

Brilliantly poignant

I cannot wait to read the author's next book. Please share more if your gift.

Wonderful story of War and it’s consequences

Loved this book
Great story and excellent audio performance
Different story then the usual Holocaust books

Best book I've listened to in awhile.

This is the first book I've read from a Germans point of view. I'm glad for the education. I cried when the book ended. I'll miss a few of these characters.

A much needed reminder of history…

It was a heartbreaking story of a time in history we should be ultra careful not to repeat.

Great story from an interesting perspective

I really liked hearing story from this perspective, most of the other books from this genre are from the same perspective so it was a nice change. Story was beautiful. I loved the characters. I had a little bit of trouble with the narrator at first I thought her voice sounded kind of harsh, but I realize that she was just speaking in a German accent, which tends to sound a little harsh.by the end of the book, I realize that she actually did a fantastic job with the accent of all the different characters

Loved it !

Nothing , the narrator was so good , beautiful story, also sad , exciting , takes you deep in history

Author has amazing understanding of truth and human behavior!

This author is highly skilled in the ability to present complex human personalities and behaviors under multiple complex, challenging situations. The writer understands how good people might behave in difficult situations. It also shows how selfish people, who don’t recognize they are selfish, use it to their benefit. This author is one of the most skilled I have ever had the privilege to read!

Not all people who behave bad are obviously bad and not all people who make good decisions are obviously good!
