Kristina grew up in a country suffering under the crippling burden of WWI reparations; money was worthless, and food scarce. Then Hitler came to power determined to set Germany on a course to greatness.

It is on this wave of belief and enthusiasm that Kristina proudly takes up her post as an SS auxiliary at Auschwitz. Initially she lives in a bubble of friendship with her fellow guards, and the love of her fiance, Hermann. But she soon realises something is badly wrong.

Kristina is swept along by life-changing orders from her superiors, and the endless, worsening horrors of the war as Germany is torn apart by its enemies.

This story is a slow burn growing to a crescendo. It is harrowing, haunting and memorable, leaving the reader with a unique insight into prejudice and war.

Industry Reviews

An extraordinary book of rare emotional power... We all think we're familiar with World War II, and that we know broadly what life was like for ordinary Germans. Kristina overturns all that and makes the reader think again-time after time.

- Sue Poulsen, Fiction Editor, Reader's Digest (UK)

A sweeping, epic tale: heart-in-the-mouth thriller alternates with wartime romance, painful redemption and a powerful indictment of extremism.

- M.H. Baylis, author

Bravely written. Inspiring. An account that addresses the pointlessness of hatred, and the passionate drive for atonement and salvation. A read to inspire and balance the history books.
