The water that had seemed so broad and wild diminished and was gone. As they neared land, a flock of gulls, flashing white and black in the sun, sheered once over the boat before they winged away.

This deeply affecting novel follows an older couple who decide to undertake their own small campaign of resistance against the Nazi regime in 1940s Berlin. Otto and Anna leave postcards throughout the city, hoping to inspire others to resist. They are not particularly heroic and their efforts are almost entirely ineffectual, yet their decision to choose decency over the vile corruption around them is ultimately incredibly powerful. Unforgettable.

Tamra Great book! now

I struggled to finish this book. Months ago I cannot force myself to read the last 30-40 pages. I don't know for me it just list the sparkle.

This is not my typical book, but it was a book club pick…and I loved it! And now I want to expand the teas I drink 😆. At its‘ core, this is a book about a mother‘s love. (52)
⭐️: 4/5

My Audible library is overflowing, so sometimes I just pick the book that has been waiting patiently the longest to read next. This book had been sitting in my library for so long, I couldn‘t remember what had piqued my interest. Based on the description, I suspected this was going to be one of those really long books that dove deeply into the characters‘ lives, and I was going to love it.

Finding this an odd read. I'm not exactly bored, but there's such a remove from all the characters that I have no one to be interested in. It's like reading a moderately entertaining history book.
