I always enjoy a book with a strong female lead and Berlin Girl by Mandy Robotham is definitely that. From a masculine sounding name and being in a predominantly male profession, Georgie Young takes pre-World War II Berlin by storm. As a journalist, she has a front row seat on the political and social scene and tries to use this to help her readers back home understand the devastation about to take place. As she becomes personally involved with families in Berlin, Georgie takes actions that put her life and those of others at risk. While some aspects of Berlin Girl are typical of World War II fiction, Robotham definitely includes some twists and turns which keep the reader guessing until the very end. I definitely enjoyed the epilogues that portray the character continuing to pursue her career throughout her life. Robotham continues to create characters that have depth, interesting plot lines, and historical accuracy. An excellent addition to World War II fiction.
I received a complementary copy via NetGalley. I am not obligated to provide a positive review.
