In a better world Jochen would be a concert pianist but in this one, though unconvinced by Nazi ideology, he's in North Africa, flying for the Fuhrer. Loosely inspired by the life of Hans-Joachim Marseille, this exciting novel grapples with tough topics around personal beliefs in Nazi Germany.
Recovering from injuries received in the desert, Luftwaffe fighter ace Jochen Murville dreams of playing the piano and living in Sweden with Gerda, the Jewish woman whose escape from Germany he engineered. However, his engagement to Lotte still stands – no matter how much her Nazi beliefs horrify him.
