Review: Exciting and so educational! - This novel is based on a real WW II program and offers a different perspective by a German family who is not in favor of the Hitler regime. The book is extremely suspenseful and interesting; I learned so much. The characters are so well drawn, I felt like I was there with them. It is raw, heartbreaking and educational, yet hopeful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Tale of Two Women
*by A***O on February 8, 2024*

The German Wife by Kelly Rimmer is an amazing story, which the author reveals to the reader by way of two women: Sophie von Meyers Rhodes, the German wife, from Berlin, Germany, and Lizzie Davis, an American from Dallam County, Texas. Rimmer does a wonderful job juxtaposing the lives of the two women through the turbulent years, leading up to and beyond World War Two. Rimmer will elucidate and explain how the Third Reich came into power, and the gradual change in the laws that led to violence and the persecution of the Jews. What is significant here is how the war and the policies and ideology of the Nazis affected the personal lives of the characters: Sofie von Meyer Rhodes, Jurgen, her husband, Adele, her aunt, Mayim, her childhood Jewish girlfriend, her children: Georg, Laura, Gisela, and Felix. And then there is Lizzie Davis and her family, her mother and father and her brother, Henry, and the millions of innocent people touched by war. No one can evade the agony of war, not even Karl and Lydia zu Schiller, and their son, Hans, devoted Nazis to the very end. You will come to realize that hate and war destroy everything it touches. This profound story reminded me of a line that I once read that said, “If you hate someone and or want revenge against someone, don’t forget to dig two graves. One for your victim and one for yourself.” Because hate and war will destroy you. Rimmer’s story is beautifully written and provocative. It will make you stop to think just how could we have allowed this tragedy to happen? How could we have stopped it before it got out of hand? What could I have done to prevent it? We know from experience and from history that standing idly by is not the answer. The story is bittersweet. It will not only bring you to tears, but it concludes in the only practical way that is possible: It will allow people to move forward (those who have survived) and to begin a new chapter in their lives, one without hate, one without war. Thus, I highly recommend this book to all readers.
