What to expect

An ordinary girl faces an extraordinary choice in this gripping, coming-of-age tale of secrets and courage set in Nazi Germany, perfect for readers who enjoyed The Book Thief and Beneath a Scarlet Sky.'

'It's terrifying and incredible to think how much of this story is true' Elizabeth Wein, author of Code Name Verity


Munich, 1931. Gretchen Muller has been cherished and protected by Adolf Hitler ever since her father, a senior Nazi officer, sacrificed himself to save the life of the Führer. And now Germany has the chance to be great once more, under the command of her 'Uncle Dolf'.

But secrets cannot be silenced forever. When Gretchen meets a young Jewish reporter named Daniel Cohen, who claims that her father was actually murdered, she becomes swept up in a desperate and dangerous search for the truth. With the full might of the ever-powerful Nazi party on her tail, and the motives of her dearest friends now in question, Gretchen must risk everything to determine her own allegiances - even if her choices could get her and Daniel killed.

Critics Review

  • Grabs the reader from its first paragraph…. [A] remarkable book

    Jewish Book Council

  • I’m in awed envy of the daring with which Anne Blankman plunges into her difficult and sensitive subject matter. To read Prisoner of Night and Fog is to be immersed in a breathtaking evocation of Munich in the 1930s, where life is ordinary and skin-crawling by turns, and in the painful, hopeful story of one young girl’s awakening conscience. It’s terrifying and incredible to think how much of this story is true

    Elizabeth Wein, author of CODENAME VERITY

  • A tremendously cleverly constructed and terrifically compelling story that puts you right back into History – I read this one obsessively and felt every single moment

  • I haven’t liked a historical fiction novel quite this much since Elizabeth Wein’s Rose Under Fire. Prisoner of Night and Fog is completely absorbing. It’s well-written and clever, and the sort of book that lingers in your thoughts well after the final pages

  • Completely engrossing
