Mav_Danto | Jul 28, 2023 |    ) Bella_Baxter | Jul 31, 2022 | ) wincheryl | Jun 20, 2022 | I had never heard about Hitler's food tasters before and they did exist although this tale is just an imagining. It makes an interesting framing device within which to examine Rosa's relationships with the other food tasters, the guards, and her in-laws, who she lives with. (  ) VictoriaPL | Apr 3, 2021 | Peccato, perchè la Postorino scrive bene (nonostante qualche scivolone nel melenso) e la sua prosa cattura da subito l'attenzione del lettore grazie ad un ritmo sempre sostenuto. Insomma poteva uscir fuori un un libro diverso dai soliti, ma l'autrice ha preferito "vincere facile" confezionando un prodotto innocuo e adatto a tutti i palati. Non la biasimo anche perchè è riuscita perfettamente nel suo intento, ma è un'occasione mancata. ( ) Lilirose_ | Dec 12, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: "Narrator Polly Stone gives us a believable depiction of Rosa Sauer...The story is compelling, and the performance memorable." ?? AudioFile Magazine "They called it the Wolfsschanze, the Wolf's Lair. 'Wolf' was his nickname. As hapless as Little Red Riding Hood, I had ended up in his belly. A legion of hunters was out looking for him, and to get him in their grips they would gladly slay me as well." Germany, 1943: Twenty-six-year-old Rosa Sauer's parents are gone, and her husband Gregor is far away, fighting on the front lines of WWII. Impoverished and alone, she makes the fateful decision to leave war-torn Berlin to live with her in-laws in the countryside, thinking she'll find refuge there. But one morning, the SS come to tell her she has been conscripted to be one of Hitler's tasters: three times a day, she and nine other women go to his secret headquarters, the Wolf's Lair, to eat his meals before he does. Forced to eat what might kill them, the tasters begin to divide into The Fanatics, those loyal to Hitler, and the women like Rosa who insist they aren't Nazis, even as they risk their lives every day for Hitler's. As secrets and resentments grow, this unlikely sisterhood reaches its own dramatic climax. What's more, one of Rosa's SS guards has become dangerously familiar, and the war is worsening outside. As the months pass, it becomes increasingly clear that Rosa and everyone she knows are on the wrong side of history. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Rosa Sauer proviene da Berlino, ma suo marito è partito in guerra e lei ha raggiunto i suoceri in campagna, quella campagna dove all'interno di un Bunker nel profondo del bosco si nasconde il dittatore tedesco, che non ama mangiare gli animali morti perché non sopporta la crudeltà su di essi, che però fa assaggiare i suoi pasti a 12 donne.
Il romanzo è esattamente come ci si aspetta che sia, il racconto di una donna senza il marito perché disperso in guerra, che viene obbligata a collaborare con un regime dietro compenso, del sentirsi complice, dei segreti da nascondere, di un gruppo di donne che si ritrovano a vivere lo stesso destino. Non è una lettura leggera, ma appassiona. (
