This is a story that spans two years during a time when Germany was under turmoil and the Nazi party was coming to power. It is the story about two lovers, a Catholic woman and a Jewish man. It's a story about their struggles in these fraught times. I won't summarize the plot, as Ami Blackwelder has done so, very well, in the description.Ami Blackwelder recounts the issues of this couple in a poignant, thought-provoking manner.  The story has a slow pace which allows the reader to absorb the atmosphere of the lives (including the religious traditions) of  the main characters, Eli and Rebecca. I would recommend this book to those interested in historical romance (no explicit scenes) from this era.
