The Secret History of Audrey James by Heather Marshall

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent​ - you won’t want to put it down. 

We meet Audrey in 1938 and Kate in 2010. 


Audrey was a pianist in Berlin, and Kate has just experienced a tragedy in her life.


A long time between those years, but the two women meet, and we hear their stories.


1938 - Audrey is embroiled in the beginnings of Hitler's regime and terror on the Jewish people and has to decide if she wants to stay to protect her friend who lost her family to the roundup or go back to London.


We follow Audrey during her time and when she meets Kate in 2010.


Audrey has a story to tell and decides to tell Kate about her time in Germany and to allow her to document it. 


THE SECRET HISTORY OF AUDREY JAMES is a well-written account with beautiful writing, marvelous descriptions that have you feeling as though you are there, and a storyline that will keep you turning the pages.


A story about loyalty, friendship, and doing what you know is right.


Historical fiction and women's fiction fans will adore this book. 


You will love both women. ​5/5


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