The Sound of Music meets Pride & Prejudice in this enrapturing tale of rebel resistance in World War II Berlin. For young adult readers who love themes of courage, bravery, and mystery with a clean romance subplot and Christian thematic elements, The Jewel of Berlin will not disappoint.
From the prologue of this book, I was instantly hooked. Set in Nazi Germany, Eva von Lindner is a former socialite who was raised in the upper class. But when she is left behind as her family is fleeing Berlin, she is forced to work for the pensive Doctor Sigmund Brynner whose mysterious past creates a seemingly insurmountable barrier between them.
When Eva discovers the resistance movement that Dr. Brynner is a part of, she realizes the horrific truth of what the Nazis are doing to her Jewish neighbors. And she is determined to stop their cruel invasion, even if that means sacrificing her life.
The Jewel of Berlin has no noteworthy elements in it that prevent it from being enjoyed by younger readers. However, the romantic subplot in the story may best be appreciated and understood by readers aged 15+.
The book is releasing on Amazon on November 15th of this year, but is available to preorder now. If you know a child, grandchild, or friend who enjoys mystery, adventure, and high stakes, The Jewel of Berlin would make a perfect birthday or Christmas gift!
