USA TODAY BESTSELLER • "Searing . . . a heartbreaking page-turner."-People "Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this story of a daughter searching for the truth about her mother's secret past, tangled up in old secrets and terrible lies, kept me up late turning pages."-Martha Hall Kelly, bestselling author of Lilac Girls This edition includes an exclusive reader's guide featuring thought-provoking questions for your book club and an interview with the author! Once inseparable, Berlin teenagers Ilse Fischer and Renate Bauer find their friendship ripped apart by their nation's abrupt swing into fascism. Ilse, a so-called Aryan, throws her lot in with the Nazi Party, while Renate sees her once-secure world dismantled by Adolf Hitler's race laws and then shattered by a shocking betrayal. Decades later, that same betrayal will upend the life of Ilse's daughter, Ava, as she discovers long-buried truths about her mother's past. A harrowing page-turner, Wunderland traces the lives of three women across two generations-and the devastating repercussions of choices made in the dark days of wartime Germany. Praise for Wunderland "Engrossing . . .
