The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck

Oh no! Not another World War II book! Just when you thought there wasn't another angle to the story, along comes a book that finds one.

The women in the castle are three German women, all mothers, who married men who resisted the Nazi's. One of the women, Marianne, has promised that she will look out for the other women in the event something happens to the husbands. After all the men are murdered during an attempt to kill Hitler, she brings the women into her castle where they live together and create relationships.

Well written and great character development. Definitely recommend this one. -June
