“The German heiress carefully studied and painted like a black thriller, telling another story of World War II – toward one’s own inner gui and to be trapped in characters they could have done to change what they did in the past.” (Jessica Shattuck, Women’s Bestselling Writer for The New York Times)
For readers/listeners of Alice Network and Paris’ Lost Girls, this is an immersive, exciting debut about the German heiress in the run after World War II.
Clara Falkenberg, once the most qualified and praised heiress in Germany, earned the nickname “Ironfräulein” during World War II, as her character runs the family’s Ironworks empire. Almost two years after the war ended, she was left with only a fake ID card and a series of questions about her family’s past. She had nowhere to go, and she decided to return home and take refuge with her dear friend Elisa.
A British officer barely escaped the trial of a troubled war crime arrest, and she returned home to find the city discovered by ruins and Elisa was missing. When Clara starts tracking down Elisa, she meets Jakob, a charismatic young man working on the black market, who, for his own reasons, is also looking for ELISA. Clara and Jakob will soon discover how they help each other – as long as they can make Clara’s actions for her actions during the war and lead the officials.
The driving force of the German heiress, meticulously researched and action-burning, is a fascinating pause story that questions the meaning of justice and morality, cleverly shines with attention, trapped in the exchange of fire from the Nazi regime with the often overlooked German perspective and nowhere to be found.
