​​Ted Bun reviews The Girl from Berlin: Standartenführer’s Wife by Ellie Midwood

​I was going to start on the World War Two Chronicles, when I opened this book in error. I’m glad I did. A captivating read about a young lady Annalise, the want to be ballet dancer daughter of a family of “hidden” Jewish refugees in Berlin in the 1930s. The story gets darker as the power of Nazi Party grows.  Strangely Annalise finds love in the arms of Nazi officer the “Standartenfuhrer” of the title. The twist and turns mount as we discover that the Standartenfuhrer is not just a Nazi with friends in high places.

Great Read 5 Stars

This story is a romantic comedy. it includes naked people doing things that people do. ... There are no sex scenes ... after all the characters are British!
It is a police story, it includes criminal activity. There is no murder, no horrific violence ... after all it is set in rural England.
