Told through the eyes of American military photographer Ray D'Addario, who finds himself drawn into the human drama behind his lens, and Czech-German translator Margarete Borufka, who has her own secrets to keep as she confronts the reality of Nazi atrocities, and with cameo appearances from international figures such as Martha Gelhorn, Marlene Dietrich, Joseph Kessler and John Dos Passos, this is both a poignant love story and a grand historical narrative.

Based on meticulous research and told with the blessing of Ray and Margarete's daughter, Linda, this remarkable novel and moving love story takes us into the very heart of history.

The book, acclaimed by French reviewers, was shortlisted for France's prestigious Prix Goncourt, Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française and won the Prix Renaudot.
