Summary

Nazi-occupied Vienna, 1940: A young nurse finds herself with the chance to save innocent children. An unmissable and heartbreaking story—based on devastating real events—about tragedy, hope, and courage in the face of impossible odds.

“These children, who the Nazis don’t even see as human, these children are innocent. And, Hannah, if you have the chance to save even one of them, you know what you have to do. Even if it puts your own life at risk.”

As bombs fall over Europe, Hannah Stern is a 27-year-old nurse who is just trying to survive. When she takes a position at Vienna’s esteemed psychiatric hospital, Am Steinhof, she thinks it will take her away from the danger. 

Her estranged half-brother has arranged the job for her on the condition that she must take his son, Willi, there too. He insists it’s a place where Willi will be safe. And Hannah soon forms a close bond with the sweet, fragile child in her care.

At first the hospital seems like a safe haven—a beautiful, airy, spacious place of healing and recovery. But the hospital is a place of secrets. And they are darker than Hannah could ever have imagined. Children, ones just like Willi, are disappearing—not to be healed as promised, but taken somewhere else. Somewhere terrible.

And when Willi’s own life comes under threat—in spite of her half brother’s position of power in the Nazi military—Hannah must overcome her own fears and act. Then she discovers one of the other nurses is also trying to help patients escape, and Hannah becomes determined to help in any way she can.

But she is only one person up against the enemy. And to save even just one life from the grip of the Nazis, she must risk her own....

The most unmissable historical fiction of the year, guaranteed to leave listeners in tears. Perfect for fans of My Name is Eva, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Mediocre

Another disappointing experience. Why do narrators put on such awful accents? This book is set in Berlin and Vienna, so why are so many characters speaking with weird regional UK accents? Maybe the narrators can't do a memorable German accent and that's absolutely fine. Why not just stick to the normal narration voice in that case? Characters were all really shallow and bland. Colourless forgettable scenes. At least I hung on to the end, but not seeking any further works from this author or narrator.

Would like to just give 5 stars

Sadly I cannot just give the five stars to this heart wrenching book. Worth a read with tissues.
