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.

hard to put down

the narrator was fantastic! the story was unforgettable and the research for the historical setting was accurate. this is an audible book you won't put down.

Incredible

I felt as though I knew everything character personally. What an amazing story. I only wished that people realized that the same people who backed Hitler are still running this world, just more convertly. I guess that they will find out soon enough.

Daughter of the Reich.

Was a bit of a slow start. Well worth sticking through and left me with tears at the end.

The Ending

If you want just a well written story that you can imagine yourself in then here it is. I've questioned myself a million times what I would do if I was ever in someone else's shoes, this story definitely made me feel a part of it. I feel this is a straight to the point book, maybe a cliche, but I must imagine so many stories during war are similar. It kept my attention and the end hits hard!

A Very Good Read !

This book for me was well written, informative of the time period and sensitive to all points of views. The descriptions of all the different emotions were so vivid, it drew you in, you could visualize being there. The ending was amazing! Thank you.

Powerful Love Story

Love this! Wonderful writing and style! I am amazed by the affect that hate can cause and the power love has to change the world.

Heartwarming, suspenseful, and full of hope!

Great listen. Wonderful narration. Had been in a book slump and this was a delight. I’m sad it’s over and the wonderful characters are gone. A gem for any historical fiction lover.

Absolutely heart wrenching and absolutely marvelous

If you listen to anything at all this year, listen to this book. Out of thousands of holocaust stories, I think I Will remember this one. Truly a great book.
