Description
I always knew it would come out one day. They are finding everyone who has stayed hidden. They would have come to me in the end. Hamburg, 1942Seventeen-year-old Anna knows she can never tell her proud parents the truth about where she is going. She must hide the fact that she is pregnant, that the father of her unborn child is dead and that she is on her way to a special maternity home, where her baby will be given to a perfect family. She tells herself that this is the best solution. She doesn't expect to feel the rush of love for her beautiful baby boy in the white blanket, or the devastation when he is snatched from her, never to be seen again. Desperate to forget her grief, she sees an advert for a secretary in a prison, far away in the east. Days later, she leaves Hamburg, travelling eastwards by train, feeling as if a whole new life is about to begin. It is the biggest mistake she will ever make. London, 2016Ninety-year-old Anna sits on the edge of her bed, hands trembling, eyes brimming with tears, as she looks at the picture of the soldier in the newspaper. Her friends and neighbours know her as a kindly old lady who bakes cakes and always has time to listen to their troubles. They don't know about the hated green uniform she burned, the memories of the prisoners she tried to help and the bombed and blackened city she once called home. But now the time for a reckoning has come, will revealing the truth free Anna or destroy her? A gripping read that will break your heart and have you hooked, perfect for fans of The Alice Network, The Nightingale and My Name is Eva. The Woman Outside the Walls will take you on an emotional journey and show you that in war, even when you are on the wrong side, you can still do the right thing... What everyone is saying about Suzanne Goldring: 'I just couldn't put this one down. I loved every page, and I went through an entire box of tissues before I was done. You will keep turning the pages until the very end because you just won't be able to put it down at all.' Crossroad Reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿ 'I could not put this book down, and heaven help anyone that tried to disturb my reading!! I absolutely loved this book! I laughed, I cried, I cheered... what a fantastic read.' Goodreads reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿ 'Wow! Where do I even begin? I was captivated from the very first page right up until the very last. So easy to get swept up into the story and lose yourself completely within the pages. Captivating, compelling and heart-breaking... Absolutely brilliant.' Confessions of a Bookaholic, ¿¿¿¿¿
