The Berlin Wife's Vow: Absolutely gripping and emotional WW2 historical fiction (German Wives) Paperback – April 30, 2024
Purchase options and add-ons
Berlin, 1944. Edith Falkenstein weeps with joy when the crowds of brave women protesting on Rosenstrasse manage to save their Jewish relatives, including her husband Julius, from deportation to the camps.
Julius once believed abiding by the rules would shield him and his wife. But now he knows better: there is no such thing as mercy from the Nazis, and they must do all they can to save others. Their apartment, long stripped of its luxurious furnishings, might offer little protection from the frigid winter air, but it has become a place of secret shelter—though it puts all their lives at risk.
As bombs rain a thunder of devastation on the city and Soviet soldiers close in from the east, the Nazis have only become more desperate, and more deadly. For the inhabitants, their only option is to flee. But when another raid leaves Julius critically injured, Edith realises he is far too frail to make the perilous journey. She closes her eyes and prays for a miracle.
The final days of the war are here, but there is no cause for celebration in Berlin, where death lingers on every corner. Their love has been the source of their strength and survival all these long years, but will either of them live to see the end?
An absolutely page-turning and deeply heart-rending story of one woman’s promise to protect the people she loves. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Alice Network and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

About the author
Marion Kummerow writes historical fiction that explores the dark side of human history. A USA Today Bestselling author, she has received rave reviews from readers and critics for her novels about the German resistance during World War II. Her books feature characters who face moral dilemmas, make difficult decisions, and fight for what is right. She also infuses her stories with humor and undying love, because she believes that love is what makes the world go round.
Born and raised in Germany, Marion has lived in various countries before returning to Munich with her family. After writing several non-fiction books, she felt drawn to the past and the subject of resistance to the Nazi regime. It took her years of courage and hard work to turn the true story of her grandparents Ingeborg and Hansheinrich Kummerow into a trilogy: “Love and Resistance in the Second World War”. UNRELENTING is the first book in this series.
Bringing history to life through her books is Marion’s passion. She visits museums, travels to memorials and the locations in her books, reads original source material, and consults experts to meticulously research the historical facts and details in her novels.
Her stories are authentic and immersive, transporting readers to another time and place. She writes with the conviction that we must never forget the past, so it won’t repeat itself.
When she’s not writing or researching, Marion likes to travel, do yoga, and spend time with her family. She also enjoys reading books by other historical fiction authors.

The Berlin Wife’s Vow written by author Mario Kummerow is an amazing addition to the German Wives Series. I was heart broken at the horrible conditions and the life they had to endure. This gripping story was a fast-paced story that was unputdownable. I enjoy this author’s writing style so much, she keeps me coming back for more of her stories. She intertwines stories that are entertaining, engaging and inspiring, while educating the reader on the facts of history. I love that even though it was a long time ago, there are so many lives and families that will be forever changed through all the generations to come. May we never forget. I highly recommend this wonderful story.
Roxi is my favorite character! She's brave, intuitive, and resourceful. Her ingenuity saved many lives. I definitely connected with many of the characters! Some of their stories were heartbreaking.
I was provided a copy of the book from Bookouture via Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Top reviews from other countries
I could not put this book down and highly recommend it to other readers to get a balanced view of the suffering ordinary Germans endured during the war, especially those with Jewish family members.
I hope Marion Kummerow continues this story with other family members amid the struggles of building Germany under the Marshall plan for Europe.
