Historical Fiction
#monthlynotif- June - Historical Fiction
In this book, I learned how hard it was for the people who were in the resistance in WWII. It really takes place after the war when Marianne tries to keep her promise to her husband to protect the other wives of the resisters.
She is able to find 2 other women, Benita and Ania and their children.. The story then goes back and forth between the time the women are living in the Bavarian castle and their individual back stories. Each woman is hiding something about her past. Each one has a secret.
Goodreads said:::
Written with the devastating emotional power of The Nightingale, Sarah's Key, and The Light Between Oceans, Jessica Shattuck's evocative and utterly enthralling novel offers a fresh perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in history. Combining piercing social insight and vivid historical atmosphere, The Women in the Castle is a dramatic yet nuanced portrait of war and its repercussions that explores what it means to survive, love, and, ultimately, to forgive in the wake of unimaginable hardship
