    The German Wife
    <b>Inspired by real events, the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Warsaw Orphan </i>returns with an unputdownable novel of a community torn apart when a former Nazi family moves into town to work on NASA's space program</b><br/><b><br/></b><b>Berlin, 1934. Sofie Rhodes</b> is the aristocratic wife of a scientist whose post-WWI fortunes change for the better when her husband, <b>Jurgen</b>, is recruited for Hitler's new rocket project.
