The White Rose movement in Germany was a non-violent intellectual resistance group in Nazi Germany, who conducted an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign that called for active opposition to the Nazi regime. I enjoyed it, especially the historical aspects. White Rose, Black Forest is a novel inspired by true events, although the author doesn’t clarify what is fact and what is fiction. Can they trust each other enough to join forces on a mission that could change the face of the war and their own lives forever?

Trapped in the cabin they both gradually reveal details of their past lives and learn to trust each other. Both his legs are broken and, having been a nurse, Franka is able to set the bones, and tries to discover his true identity.

It is set in the Black Forest, Germany in 1943, where Franka Gerber is living alone in an isolated cabin, having returned to her home town of Freiburg after serving a prison sentence for anti-Nazi activities. White Forest, Black Rose by Eoin Dempsey is a World War 2 novel which is different from other books set during the War that I’ve read before, told from the perspective of a German who opposed the Nazis. This is the second of several short posts as I try to catch up with writing reviews of books I read earlier this year.
