<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A door slammed and the unmistakable sound of boots came crashing up the hall</strong>. Liese held her little daughter's hand so tightly, the tiny fingers had turned purple. The SS officer's hand was at Liese's throat before she saw him move<strong>. 'I can kill you easily, then I can kill your daughter.' He relaxed his grip a little. 'Or perhaps I could kill her first?'</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>England, forty years later</strong>. When <strong>Karen Cartwright</strong> is unexpectedly called home to nurse her ailing father, she goes with a heavy heart. The house she grew up in feels haunted by the memory of her father's closely guarded secrets about her beautiful mother <strong>Elizabeth</strong>'s tragic death years before.<br /> <br /> <strong>As she packs up the house, Karen discovers an old photograph and a stranger's tattered love letter to her mother postmarked from Germany after the war</strong>.<br /> <br /> During her life, Karen struggled to understand her shy, fearful mother, but now she is realising there was so much more to Elizabeth than she knew. <strong>For one thing, her name wasn't even Elizabeth, and her harrowing story begins long before Karen was born</strong>.<br /> <br /> <strong>It's 1941 in Berlin, and a young woman called Liese is being forced to wear a yellow star...</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>A beautiful and gripping wartime story about family secrets and impossible choices in the face of terrible hardship</strong>.
