I love you more than life itself. But you're not safe. If you weren't married to me, you wouldn't suffer like this, terrorized by the yellow star on my chest. I could never live with myself if something happened to you-because of me.
Berlin, 1939. Edith Falkenstein once lived a fairytale life. Falling in love with Julius introduced her to a world she had only dreamed of. She wore the finest silk dresses to host parties in their historic mansion home.
But those days are a distant memory. Under Nazi rule, her Jewish husband Julius has been stripped of everything. Now the couple share a cramped apartment with other destitute families, and the priceless jewels that once adorned Edith's neck have been sold to buy food on the black market.
Julius was lucky to escape being imprisoned once, and Edith knows he won't be so fortunate a second time. The echo of boots marching across the city is a constant reminder of the danger they face. She begs Julius to flee the country, while they still can.
But as war rages across Europe, the journey will be fraught with peril. All Julius has ever wanted was to keep Edith safe. He knows there is only one way to truly protect the woman who stole his heart all those years ago-even if it means breaking hers.
Time is running out and Edith must decide: let Julius go or follow her heart and her husband into the danger that lies ahead...
An absolutely gripping, heartrending story of the lengths we go to for love, that fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and My Name is Eva will adore.
