What to expect
Berlin, 1939
As war breaks out across Europe, Clara - a British midwife married to a German officer - finds herself an outsider in the place she has called home for nearly a decade. Dismissed from her hospital and powerless as a pregnant Jewish woman is turned away alongside her, Clara is forced to confront a terrifying new reality.
She may not recognise the city she once loved, but she won't stand by and watch as a desperate mother and her child are neglected, so she delivers the woman's baby in secret - a single act of courage that changes everything for Clara and her husband.
Soon, word spreads around the Jewish community of the Angel of Life, and Clara finds herself right at the heart of a special resistance - bringing life into the world even as darkness descends.
But as the war tightens its grip, so does the peril surrounding Clara and the people she loves most. Jewish families are being torn from their homes and Clara will do everything she can to save them. But will it be at the expense of her own life?
A moving, powerful and gripping WWII story of one woman's immense bravery and sacrifice, and her determination to hold on to hope in a world ripped apart by war - proving that love can prevail even in the darkest of days. Perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Mandy Robotham and Anna Stuart.
