A highly acclaimed anti-fascist novel, The Mortal Storm was Phyllis Bottome's dramatic warning against the warmongering, antisemitism, and misogyny of the Nazis. The story pits the developing political and feminist consciousness of Freya Roth against the Nazi machine that will destroy the fabric of her family and nation. In its combination of adventure and love story, political analysis and history, The Mortal Storm remains a powerful reminder of the greatest crisis of the twentieth century, as well as a riveting personal saga.---Library Thing

An anti-fascist novel acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, The Mortal Storm was Phyllis Bottome's dramatic warning against the warmongering, anti-semitism, and misogyny of the Nazis. Highlighting Bottome's prolific writing career and lifelong humanitarian activism, The Mortal Storm tells the story of a German family -- a Jewish father, an aristocratic mother, two stepsons who have just joined the Nazi Party, a daughter in medical school, and a young, impressionable son -- during the early months of the Nazi rise to power. While tracing the Nazi takeover and the fracturing of German society, Bottome paints a moving portrait of a family united by love but divided by political belief and cultural identity.---Goodreads
