The American Wife

"Outstanding I was hooked by this book and couldn't put it down Oh my goodness I loved this." Goodreads reviewer

1938: Shattered fragments of glass snap under my feet as I tread quietly into what was my best friend's apartment. Now as I frantically look around in horror, I know that the worst has happened she has been taken by the Gestapo. And I realise with certainty what I have to do next, but will I be too late to save her?

From the moment the Nazis arrived in Vienna, I knew everything would change, especially for my closest friend, Judith. The very fact that she is Jewish means she is in danger, but I hoped that she'd get her visa in time to leave the country. That they wouldn't come for her

But I was wrong. And when Judith is taken by the Gestapo, I realise I only have one choice: save my dearest friend or betray the man I love? Because I am a diplomat's wife, I know I can steal the papers that will allow Judith to escape to safety. It's the hardest choice I have ever had to make, but I know I must be brave, and do the right thing, no matter what

And besides, I've started to wonder which side of the war my husband, Edgar, is really on. Ever since I joined him in Europe, I've watched him grow distant and secretive. And as his behavior gets stranger, and he pushes me even further away, I begin to wonder: how well do I know the man that lies beside me every night?

So as I creep into my husband's study in the dead of night, I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing. But, will I be too late to save my best friend and, if I get caught, what will happen to me?

An absolutely heartbreaking, powerful and gripping story about finding love, resilience and friendship in the midst of the darkness of World War 2. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, My Name is Eva and All the Light We Cannot See.
