About this audiobook

Haunted by an old family photo of her mother and a high-ranking Nazi officer, historian Trudy Swenson begins to dig deep into the past to uncover the wartime experiences her mother refuses to talk about. Author Jenna Blum has worked for Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation for four years. Her novel received exceptional reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly. "Blum's spare imagery is nightmarish and intimate, imbuing familiar panoramas of Nazi atrocity with stark new power. This is a poised, hair-raising debut." -Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

Narrator, Suzanne Toren, did an excellent job giving a voice to Jenna Blum's wonderfully-descriptive and thought-provoking words. So many layers and levels to explore. I found myself asking this question, "To what lengths would I be willing to go to survive?"
