Title: My Dearest Dietrich
Author: Amanda Barratt
Chapters: 37 plus epilogue
Pages: 356
Genre: Christian Historical fiction
Rating: 5 stars
My Dearest Dietrich is set in
Germany during WWII so it is my no means a light hearted romance.
And one that doesn't have a happy ending. But I guess you can say that about a
lot of books set during WWII. But this is an historical fiction novel about
Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the woman who loved him Maria Von Wedemeyer.
I knew who
Dietrich was I've even read a few of his books. But I didn't know
anything about Maria till I read this one. Now I want to read the book of
their letters.
Reading this
book though sad at times reminded me that were indeed Germans that stood up to
Hitler and the Nazis even when it cost them everything.
Even though
this is an emotional read have tissues handy. I would recommend that everyone
read this. It's truly worth it and I normally don't read fiction books
about war. I tend to stick to non-fiction accounts.
I received a copy of this
book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a
positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
