This week I'm featuring The Curator's Daughter by Melanie Dobson releasing March 9.
1940. Hanna Tillich cherishes her work as an archaeologist for the Third Reich, searching for the Holy Grail and other artifacts to bolster evidence of a master Aryan race. But when she is reassigned to work as a museum curator in Nuremberg, then forced to marry an SS officer and adopt a young girl, Hanna begins to see behind the Nazi facade. A prayer labyrinth becomes a storehouse for Hanna's secrets, but as she comes to love Lilly as her own daughter, she fears that what she's hiding--and what she begins to uncover--could put them both in mortal danger.
Eighty years later, Ember Ellis is a Holocaust researcher intent on confronting hatred toward the Jewish people and other minorities. She reconnects with a former teacher on Martha's Vineyard after she learns that Mrs. Kiehl's mother once worked with the Nazi Ahnenerbe. And yet, Mrs. Kiehl describes her mother as "a friend to the Jewish people." Wondering how both could be true, Ember helps Mrs. Kiehl regain her fractured childhood memories of World War II while at the same time confronting the heartache of her own secret past--and the person who wants to silence Ember forever.
What upcoming release are you eagerly anticipating?

ReplyDeleteI've only read one of her books, but I loved it and am excited to read more from her. :)
DeleteThat is a really unuusal angle - someone initially sucked into the Nazi promise and then finds themselves right in the middle of a situation they don't want... This one sounds really good! Thank you for sharing:))
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see how different characters react in those kinds of situations.
DeleteI've heard good things about this author, I need to give her a try! Hope you get this one soon!

I need to read more from her because I loved the one that I have read. All of her books sound so great. :)
DeleteI am drawn to fiction set in and around WWII and am definitely interested in reading this one. Hanna sounds like a complex character. I will have to look for this one. Thank you for sharing! I hope you enjoy The Curator's Daughter when you read it!

DeleteAnother WWII novel that sounds super good. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of this time period this year. :)
DeleteI love this interesting take on WWII, and the past-present juxtaposition. It gives you a lot of foreshadowing that the characters don't necessarily have.
ReplyDeleteIt does! It's always interesting to see how the past & present timelines compliment each other. :)
