The German Nurse

By: M.J. Hollows

Narrated by: Sarah Ovens

A powerful and heartbreaking WWII historical novel for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and Beneath a Scarlet Sky.

A secret past. A forbidden love. A terrifying choice.

Her past could kill you.
Guernsey, 1940. As war storms through Europe, Churchill orders the evacuation of all military personnel from the island. Boats ferry soldiers and vulnerable young children to England, leaving their parents and loved ones behind to face the invading German army on their own.

Her love could save you.
One of the few remaining policemen on the island, Jack must protect not only his friends and family, but also the woman he loves: Johanna, a Jewish nurse from Germany, whose secret faith could prove fatal to them both.

Her fate is in your hands.
When the Nazis arrive, everything changes. Jack is forced to come to terms with the pain and loss of a world re-making itself around him. And then a list of Jews on the island is drawn up, and he must make an awful choice: write down Johanna’s name and condemn her, or resist and put his family in immediate danger…

Great writing

Liked all felt like it took you right back to the channel Islands and the horror that occurred

A tale of love loss and victory

I have been making my way through my bookshelf and have a few historic ww2 fiction book. Along with The Libarian Spy, The German Nurse is right up there with it. I loved the story and the pacing of the story and could acually see and feel myself on the island when the Germans took over. Highly recommend this book
