Summary
Germany, 1939. After her mother's death, Hanna Rombauer is unwillingly matched with an SS officer. The independence her mother fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer, and she is sent to a "bride school." Hanna is taught how to be a "proper" German wife, but the lessons of hatred, prejudice, and misogyny disturb her, and she is desperate to escape. For Mathilde Altman, a German Jewish woman, the war has torn her from her work, her family, and her new husband. She fights to keep her unborn baby safe, and is forced into hiding. When Hanna discovers Tilde near the school, the women take extraordinary risks to save the lives of mother and baby. -- adapted from back cover
