Moving . . . a plot that surprises and devastates.— New
York Times Book Review. Three women, haunted by the past and the
secrets they hold. Set at the end of World War II, in a
crumbling Bavarian castle that once played host to all of German
high society, a powerful and propulsive story of three widows
whose lives and fates become intertwined—an affecting, shocking,
and ultimately redemptive novel. Written with the devastating
emotional power of The Nightingale, Sarah’s Key, and The Light
Between Oceans, Jessica Shattuck’s evocative and utterly
enthralling novel offers a fresh perspective on one of the most
tumultuous periods in history. Combining piercing social insight
and vivid historical atmosphere, The Women in the Castle is a
dramatic yet nuanced portrait of war and its repercussions that
explores what it means to survive, love, and, ultimately, to
forgive in the wake of unimaginable hardship.
Characters: 108. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Historical
Fiction.
