“In Burke’s historical novel, a gossip columnist harboring a dangerous family secret struggles to counter pervasive propaganda in Nazi-era Germany...dramatically absorbing and truly eye-opening…Burke manages, with impressive literary artistry, to shed some light on a historical conundrum: How did such unabashed savagery spring from such a famously refined national culture?

A stunning novel crackling with historical insight.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS
