Als een jonge vrouw een vrijgezellenparty van een vroegere vriendin bezoekt, komt ze in de besneeuwde bossen in levensgevaar.

A heart-warming tale set in Liverpool and London during the post-war years, from bestselling author Maureen Lee. Liverpool, 1945. Three women, firm friends, return home from the war and try to fit back into their old lives after they've been demobbed. They've been thrown together by the war, and have shared all sorts of good and bad times. Now their old lives seem dull in comparison. But not for long... The younger women, Maggie and Nell, are both twenty-one and are full of hope and excitement; Iris, on the other hand, is feeling apprehensive about returning to civilian life. At the age of thirty, her only wish in life is to have a baby, but sadly this wish has yet to come true. When one of the women falls pregnant, there begins a dramatic sequence of events so far-reaching that the three friends' lives will become more intricately interwoven than they could ever have imagined. Over the next quarter of a century, this story of three remarkable - and very different - women unfolds into an uplifting tale of how three ordinary families become extraordinary.

In 1933 Berlin, William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany, accompanied by his wife, son, and vibrant daughter, Martha. Initially captivated by the allure of the Third Reich and its young men, Martha becomes involved in a series of affairs, including one with Rudolf Diels, the chief of the Gestapo. However, as evidence of Jewish persecution surfaces, her father expresses his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department. Dodd witnesses the alarming rise of anti-Semitic violence, press censorship, and the emergence of oppressive laws. As the year progresses, the Dodds navigate a landscape filled with excitement, intrigue, and ultimately horror, culminating in a shocking display of violence that reveals Hitler's true ambitions. The narrative captures the tense atmosphere of the time, featuring vivid portrayals of figures like the bizarre Göring and the charming yet sinister Goebbels. This account offers a compelling, firsthand perspective on the unfolding events, highlighting the complexities of an era that failed to recognize the impending threat posed by Hitler until it was too late, leaving Europe engulfed in bloodshed and terror.
