The German Dressmaker by Susan Shalev

Lilly was down to her last dollar with the only thing being left was for her to go into a brothel even though she was a very talented seamstress.

She was terrified.

Heinrich, a German officer swept her away, protected her from this fate, and they fell in love.

They had a short time together but were kept apart since they both were escaping Europe on a ship that sunk.

We follow Lily and Heinrich as the war rages on and both think the other is dead. 

Heinrich joins the British Army, and Lily continues to create her beautiful clothing as both continue to mourn their lost love and try to forget each other.

THE GERMAN DRESSMAKER is a book you won't be able to put down because of the marvelous writing of the author and the hope that Lily and Heinrich find love again.

Don't miss it...you will be missing wonderful characters and a beautiful story even though it is told amid the horrors of WWII.  5/5

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
