SINOSSI
From the New York Times bestselling author of Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker,
an enthralling historical saga that recreates the danger, romance, and
sacrifice of an era and brings to life one courageous, passionate
American—Mildred Fish Harnack—and her circle of women friends who waged a
clandestine battle against Hitler in Nazi Berlin.
After Wisconsin
graduate student Mildred Fish marries brilliant German economist Arvid
Harnack, she accompanies him to his German homeland, where a promising
future awaits. In the thriving intellectual culture of 1930s Berlin, the
newlyweds create a rich new life filled with love, friendships, and
rewarding work—but the rise of a malevolent new political faction
inexorably changes their fate.
As Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party wield violence and lies to seize power, Mildred, Arvid, and their friends resolve to resist. Mildred gathers intelligence for her American contacts, including Martha Dodd, the vivacious and very modern daughter of the US ambassador. Her German friends, aspiring author Greta Kuckoff and literature student Sara Weitz, risk their lives to collect information from journalists, military officers, and officials within the highest levels of the Nazi regime.
For years, Mildred’s network stealthily fights to bring down the Third Reich from within. But when Nazi radio operatives detect an errant Russian signal, the Harnack resistance cell is exposed, with fatal consequences.
Inspired by actual events, Resistance Women is an enthralling, unforgettable story of ordinary people determined to resist the rise of evil, sacrificing their own lives and liberty to fight injustice and defend the oppressed.
