There may be more history in the upcoming books, but this book wasn't interesting enough to take more time. ( ) A scientist with a secret. A woman estranged from her father. Neither looking for love. Unrelenting is the story of Doctor Wilhelm Quedlin, aka Q, and Hilde Dremmer and how they navigated the challenging terrain of the Nazi regime. The story begins with Q's arrest. Q and Hilde are likeable characters who face obstacles from those close to them and the Nazi state. Kummerow portrays the regime's idiocy well. An underlying threat of permeates the story. Unrelenting is the first instalment of a trilogy. I've started the sequel, Unyielding. A very short book but not one I can recommend. Written by the couple’s granddaughter, this felt more like an assembly of events with far too much author analysis of what the MC must’ve been thinking. MC was clearly all-knowing and omniscient about the war (thick sarcasm), and the author told us that every chance she got. Absolutely no subtlety. This story should have remained in the family archives. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Dr. Wilhem "Q" Quedlin, chemical engineer and inventor, lives for his science. A woman is not in his plans-nor is it to be accused of industrial espionage. But things get worse from there. Watching Hitler's rise to power spurns his desire to avoid yet another war that will completely destroy his beloved country. Q makes the conscious decision to fight against what he knows is wrong, even if working against the Nazis could mean certain death for him- and anyone he loves. Hilde Dremmer has vowed to never love again. But after encountering Q, she wants to give love a second chance. When Q discloses his resistance plan, it's up to Hilde to choose between her protected life without him or the constant threat of torture if she supports him in his fight against injustice. She has witnessed enough of the Nazi government's violent acts to be appalled by the new political power, but will this be enough for an ordinary girl to do the extraordinary and stand beside the man she loves in a time of total desolation? This World War II spy story is based on the true events of one couple's struggle for happiness while battling a war against their own leaders. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
