The German Next Door: A totally heart-wrenching World War 2 page-turner, (Paperback)

Poland, 1943. "We owe you our lives." The elderly woman clasps my hands before climbing the attic ladder to hide with her family. I am filled with anger, sadness and fear: but I can't give in to my tears now. Not when this isn't the only secret I'm keeping from the German soldiers next door...

When German soldiers take over the neighboring farm in her little village, Aneta tries to pretend life with her four-year-old son, Janek, is continuing as normal. No-one can ever know about the Jewish doctor's family she's hiding.

The doctor saved Janek's life: and kept the identity of his father a secret. Aneta owes him everything. But when a blue-eyed lieutenant knocks on her door, they are all in terrible danger. Because the soldier is Janek's father.

Johann was once the love of Aneta's life. But when he joined the German invaders, he changed. And if he knew the truth, Johann wouldn't just take her son from her. The family she's been hiding would be in terrible danger.

With the German presence setting Aneta's tiny town on edge, villagers start turning on each other, and the threat of betrayal grows each day. Can Aneta keep the Jewish family a secret when so many eyes are on them? And with Johann haunting her steps, will she be able to protect her son and make sure they all survive?

Perfect for fans of The Midwife of Auschwitz, Rhys Bowen, and The Tattooist of Auschwitz you won't be able to put down this heart-wrenching and totally addictive World War 2 historical novel.
