The German Daughter (by Marius Gabriel)

I am a huge fan of historical fiction books … especially those written during the WWII time period. However, this one was not as appealing as most of the books I read in this genre. Part of the issue is that I listened to an audiobook version and the narrator did not adjust her voice to represent a variety of characters. It was hard to keep track of the person focused on in each chapter. However, even with those flaws, the story itself had merit. It was interesting to learn how sisters were separated and were brought up in different countries and different lifestyles. It was difficult to read about Karolina’s life in East Germany during the communist era and life in Berlin. But then it was a positive twist to see Agnes’s dedication to rescuing her sister and working to help her escape such a repressive life.
