Would I read more by this author? Yes

First off  like always I  want to say a  huge  thank you to the publisher Bookouture , the author Marion Kummerow , and to NetGalley for the invite to join this blog tour as well as letting me read and review it This author is seriously becoming one of my favorite historical fiction WW 2 authors , in fact she up there with Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger, whose another author I was introduced to by Bookouture and NetGalley . They both write stories that I know will give me everything I'm looking for in a story that takes place doing that time period and they've never let me down. Just like the first book The Light In The Windows ( which you have to read first to understand what is going on in this one) I was feeling all of the emotions, and fear that our main character was feeling, plus the story just came off the page and came to life. And this one showed even more so how strong our main character was , and even though its fiction it still shows that she did her research,





Book Description:
“Please, let me help. I won’t tell anyone.” It was madness to help an escaped prisoner in Nazi Germany, but how could she not? If it weren’t for a lucky strike of fate, she might be the woman on the ground shivering with fear. A light of hope entered the prisoner’s eyes and she knew what she had to do…1942, Germany: When a young woman calling herself Annegret Huber unexpectedly inherits a huge fortune, including a house and factory just outside Berlin, her first thought is to try to see out the war quietly, avoiding the Gestapo and SS as best she can.No one needs to know her dark secret. She must focus on staying hidden. Because she can’t risk being exposed for who she truly is. Not really Annegret. But a girl living a secret life. A girl who was once called Margarete.But then an encounter with an escaped prisoner changes everything, as Margarete discovers what is happening at the factory and its attached labor camp. Witnessing first-hand the suffering of prisoners—shivering, with faces gaunt from hunger, as they work in brutal and cruel conditions—she realises she must act.If she can save just one life, she knows she has to. Because the truth is that Margarete resembles the prisoners in the camp in ways she daren’t admit. And on the other side of the fence, she has seen a face that is achingly familiar…An absolutely gripping and devastating story, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of AuschwitzAll the Light We Cannot See, and My Name is Eva.


Author Bio:

Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to "discover the world" and lived in various countries. In 1999 she returned to Germany and settled down in Munich where she's now living with her family.

Inspired by the true story about her grandparents, who belonged to the German resistance and fought against the Nazi regime, she started writing historical fiction, set during World War II. Her books are filled with raw emotions, fierce loyalty and resilience. She loves to put her characters through the mangle, making them reach deep within to find the strength to face moral dilemma, take difficult decisions or fight for what is right. And she never forgets to include humor and undying love in her books, because ultimately love is what makes the world go round.
