Acerca de esta escucha

A stunningly ambitious and beautiful novel, perfect for fans of The Nightingale, Schindler's List, and All the Light We Cannot See, about 12-year-old Hannah Rosenthal's harrowing experience fleeing Nazi-occupied Germany with her family and best friend, only to discover that the overseas asylum they had been promised is an illusion.

Before everything changed, young Hannah Rosenthal lived a charmed life. But now, in 1939, the streets of Berlin are draped with red, white, and black flags; her family's fine possessions are hauled away; and they are no longer welcome in the places that once felt like home. Hannah and her best friend, Leo Martin, make a pact: whatever the future has in store for them, they'll meet it together.

Hope appears in the form of the SS St. Louis, a transatlantic liner offering Jews safe passage out of Germany. After a frantic search to obtain visas, the Rosenthals and the Martins depart on the luxurious ship bound for Havana. Life on board the St. Louis is like a surreal holiday for the refugees, with masquerade balls, exquisite meals, and polite, respectful service. But soon ominous rumors from Cuba undermine the passengers' fragile sense of safety. From one day to the next, impossible choices are offered, unthinkable sacrifices are made, and the ship that once was their salvation seems likely to become their doom.

Seven decades later in New York City, on her 12th birthday, Anna Rosen receives a strange package from an unknown relative in Cuba, her great-aunt Hannah. Its contents will inspire Anna and her mother to travel to Havana to learn the truth about their family's mysterious and tragic past, a quest that will help Anna understand her place and her purpose in the world.

The German Girl sweeps from Berlin at the brink of the Second World War to Cuba on the cusp of revolution, to New York in the wake of September 11, before reaching its deeply moving conclusion in the tumult of present-day Havana. Based on a true story, this masterful novel gives voice to the joys and sorrows of generations of exiles, forever seeking a place called home.

I listened to this on Audible. It was a great story and the reader did an excellent job. This story kept my interest right to the very end.

Excellent reader

Found this book to have so many negative undertones that I struggled to finish. This time period did have many that faced serious hardships but in life there are rainbows if you choose to see them.

Looking for rainbows.

Is there a follow up? What happens to the money in trust? Do Anna and her mother file claims against the German Government for the property owned for generations?
I just felt let down. This sad woman and her wasted life.
At least a prologue.

Loose ends

I listened to this for about an hour but I found that the narrators voice was so bad that you do not want to listen to the book. She is nasally and has no inflection in her voice. It is hard to realize the characters in your mind when you can’t get past her voice.

Great story but....

It was difficult to finish the book. I was having trouble getting into the story. It was not a great story line, could have been a lot shorter.

Slow

This story is both heartbreaking and uplifting all at the same time. This tale gives us a small glimpse into what life must have been like for the people displaced into another culture during WWII only to find themselves right back in an oppressive society. I liked that this story took us aboard the St Louis which I think has been swept under the rug of history for far too long and is very relevant today.

A well told story

I got through 2 tissue boxes by the time I finished the book. It makes you nostalgic for a life you never lived. Through each chapter you are transported in a time capsule enveloped in tragedy and sorrow. I recommend to all.

Lovely tear jerking story

It was a struggle to get through the first half of this book. It was repetitive in its foreshadowing of a journey the character was to embark upon and I just wished she’d get going on it so the plot could unfold. The second half of the novel moved along at a better pace and held my interest . It was informative to learn about the St. Louis as this is a piece of history that was unknown to me before reading this work of historical fiction.

Slow going then gets more interesting
