The German Daughter

By: Marius Gabriel

Narrated by: Hannah Brown

A stolen child. A terrible wartime secret.

Norway, 1940. Seduced by Nazi propaganda, Liv offers herself to the German High Command as war reaches rural Norway. She has something very special that they want in Berlin - but the personal cost will be terrible. Can she survive what she did as a naïve young woman in 1940?

England, 1968. Agnes, orphaned by the war, has grown up happy in the quiet wealth of the English countryside, raised by her adoring grandfather to be a perfect lady. But when he suddenly dies, she unveils a secret that changes everything. Agnes is not who she thought she was - and she is not safe.

Will Agnes pursue deep-buried secrets and put herself, and others, in danger? Will the truth set her free?©2024 Marius Gabriel (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK

Different take on the same

The story kept me intrigued and entertained. I won't say this was a story that kept me wanting to stop everything and listen to my book. But, it was a story that kept me interested. I can't give the narrator a high mark because her cadence and inflection was so overly dramatic. Or at least emphasizing drama, which was inappropriate at so many times. I got used to it and and so was able to finish the book. Overall, I'd wait for a sale, I wouldn't use his credit.

What a wonderful story

I just finished this book and I am so sad it’s over. It was an extremely satisfying story filled with rich characters and so much history. I really liked the narrator too, her voice was soothing to listen to and her accents were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed this and will look for other novels written by this author and/or narrated by this narrator.

3.5 stars

I really liked this book. It made me want to learn more about Germany after the war and how it was divided and then eventually reunited. I did feel like the end was anticlimactic and rushed compared to the detail the author put into the rest of the story. I figured what happened would happen, so there were no surprises.

Strength of the characters s as

The war from a different perspective and females who assume leadership roles from an unsuspecting background.

Seeds of Emotional Hope

This book offers a powerful and dramatic exploration of the emotional and human side of war, delving into themes of hope, resilience, and our shared humanity. It beautifully highlights the connections that bind us, even amidst conflict. I was captivated by the storytelling and deeply moved by its message. A truly enriching experience, I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages.

Fantastic Story

This is the third book by this author I’ve listened to and I have enjoyed each one more. The storyline is complex and tackles parts of the war few others have.

Excellent Narration and Hisyorical Ficton

This story is a hidden gem. I purchased it in the 2 for 1 credit offer and am so glad I chose it.
