Unrelenting: Love and Resistance in Pre-War Germany
Unrelenting: Love and Resistance in Pre-War Germany | Marion Kummerow
4 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Berlin, Germany 1932. In a time of political unrest and strife, one man finds the courage to fight back... Dr. Wilhem "Q" Quedlin, chemical engineer and inventor, lives for his science. A woman is not in his plans-nor is it to be accused of industrial espionage. But things get worse from there. Watching Hitler's rise to power spurns his desire to avoid yet another war that will completely destroy his beloved country. Q makes the conscious decision to fight against what he knows is wrong, even if working against the Nazis could mean certain death for him- and anyone he loves. Hilde Dremmer has vowed to never love again. But after encountering Q, she wants to give love a second chance. When Q discloses his resistance plan, it's up to Hilde to choose between her protected life without him or the constant threat of torture if she supports him in his fight against injustice. She has witnessed enough of the Nazi government's violent acts to be appalled by the new political power, but will this be enough for an ordinary girl to do the extraordinary and stand beside the man she loves in a time of total desolation? This World War II spy story is based on the true events of one couple's struggle for happiness while battling a war against their own leaders.

Mehso-so

A very short book for #LetterU for #litsyatoz but not one I can recommend. Written by the couple‘s granddaughter, this felt more like an assembly of events with far too much author analysis of what the MC must‘ve been thinking. MC was clearly all-knowing and omniscient about the war (thick sarcasm), and the author told us that every chance she got. Absolutely no subtlety. This story should have remained in the family archives.

Smrloomis Ouch 😣 Anyway an honest review is always appreciated! 5y
Crazeedi Thanks for review, sad it wasn't better 5y
Texreader @Smrloomis @Crazeedi It just wasn‘t well written. It could have been lots better. It felt self-published with only herself or a biased relative as editor. 5y
Smrloomis @Texreader an unbiased editor is indispensable. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

What happens when a German goes to Paris?

“The one part of their day Q truly enjoyed was lunch. From the first day, he fell in love with the French cuisine and the wine. Rather than a hurried half an hour or even a respectable hour for lunch, the Frenchmen took a full two hours, sometimes more. Every time they ate, it was a celebration...”

Started this ebook tonight for #letterU for #litsyatoz

Smrloomis I hope it‘s good! It definitely sounds interesting. 5y
Crazeedi I'm curious to hear your opinion on this book 5y
Texreader @Smrloomis @Crazeedi I‘m not liking the writing style and the naive MC is driving me crazy. I‘m still less than halfway through it so perhaps it will improve. 5y
Crazeedi @Texreader well rats! I hope it gets better or else abandon it!! 5y
Smrloomis @Crazeedi darn, I agree with you but then I don‘t mind dropping a book if it doesn‘t seem worth the time. 5y
