Berlin, 1943: "No matter what happens, no matter what they do to me, they will never stop me loving you," he said, placing a kiss on my tear-stained cheek. Based on a true story, this heartbreaking World War Two page-turner shows that, in the face of evil, love is power, courage is infectious--and the voices of many will not be silenced. "We're not moving until you release our men!" Margot shouts, her heart racing. In the snow, the Berlin streets dusted with white, she shifts from foot to foot with the small crowd of wives by the iron gates. She has lived in terror that this moment would come: Nazis have arrested her beloved husband. Margot, a German seamstress, and Jochen , a Jewish artist, were madly in love. But this became a forbidden act in Hitler's Germany. The days of Jochen filling their sixth-floor apartment with roses to surprise her vanished. Their friends started crossing the street to avoid them. They lost their jobs. And then they found themselves scrabbling for breadcrumbs on the cold cobbles outside the home that was once their own. Yet even as their world came crashing down, they had each other. Until now. Now, Margot risks her life to protest outside Gestapo headquarters. As days pass, hundreds are gathered. They refuse to move, even when enemy planes cross the clouds and bombs fall to the ground. Yet defying the Nazis is a death sentence... Will this evil war ever end? Will she and Jochen survive? What will it take for Margot to see the love of her life again? Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Alice Network and The Lilac Girls will be utterly gripped by this tearjerking and inspirational tale. Readers love Ellie Midwood: " AMAZING read!
