Description
In the aftermath of World War II, Marianne von Lingenfels returns to her family’s ruined Bavarian castle and begins gathering the widows and children of men involved in the failed plot against Hitler. As Marianne, the vulnerable Benita, and the enigmatic Ania attempt to build a new life amid the wreckage of Nazi Germany, their shared grief is tested by conflicting loyalties, buried secrets, and the moral ambiguities of survival. Exploring friendship, guilt, privilege, resilience, and the lasting consequences of wartime choices, this sweeping historical novel offers a deeply human portrait of three women struggling to redefine themselves in a fractured world.
