The German Heiress
by Anika Scott.
The story is set in Germany mostly around 1946. And it’s
mostly told in third person plus frequent flash backs.
The beginning of the story was very slow and was
mostly about getting to know about Clara and her personality. This was when it
fell flat for me.
Clara is really an attractive protagonist; she is very
human and surprisingly Naive. Which was a bit in contrast with the Iron
Fräulein as explained on the synopsis
Then we get to know Jacob, who works in the black
market. described as brave and daring.
Getting to know the characters more halfway through
the story there was refreshing shift. Even Clara started changing. This was
when, she started questioning the morality of what her family has done.
Towards the end of the book, some dark secretes were revealed
which made it more interesting
it’s a beautifully written fast paced story, (halfway
towards the end). The characters are ok, I was not able to connect with Clara,
but I found Jacob’s character more developed than Clara. The setting was
atmospheric. I liked reading about Clara’s Childhood home.
Many thanks to the publisher and @NetGalley for the
Arc
