My Summary:
Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. Today, I’m sharing compelling historical fiction, The German Wife by Kelly Rimmer.
I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.
The United States operated a secret intelligence program called Operation Paperclip that arrested and employed former Nazi scientists after WW11. The German Wife tells the story of how Jürgen and his wife Sofie Rhodes became participants in the program, came to live in the United States and were eventually pardoned. Jürgen was granted a position in America’s space program. Tensions rise as Lizzie Miller and her friends/neighbors begin to hear rumors that Jürgen and Sophie were former Nazis.
Realistic, substantial, and compelling WWII (and post-WWII) historical fiction…

QOTD:
Have you heard of Operation Paper Clip?
Great choice to highlight, Carol. I didn’t know about Operation Paperclip until I read this well-written book. Kelly Rimmer is a favorite author of mine.
Interesting history!
