The past may not be done with us. Anna Dahlberg grew up eating dinner under her father’s war-trophy portrait of Eva Braun. Fifty years after the war, she discovers what he never did—that her mother and Hitler’s mistress were friends. The secret surfaces with a mysterious monogrammed handkerchief, and a man whose Third Reich family history is entwined with Anna’s. Plunged into the world of the Munich girl who was her mother’s confidante—and a tyrant’s lover—Anna finds her every belief about right and wrong shattered. “Historical fiction that reads like memoir.” Philadelphia Inquirer
