'Masterful, magnificent. A passionate story of survival. This story will stay with me for a long time' Heather Morris, bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz on A Bookshop in Paris
A young German Jewish woman returns to Allied Occupied Berlin from America to face the past and unexpected future.
'A gorgeous, shattering story that could not be more timely about the dark damage of hatred and the persistence of love' Caroline Leavitt, author of Is This Tomorrow
A young German Jewish woman returns to Allied Occupied Berlin from America to face the past and unexpected future.
Young Meike 'Millie' Mosbach and her brother David escape Berlin just before the horror of Kristallnacht, leaving their parents and little sister to follow them to America. But their family never arrives.
After the war they return to a shattered city, hoping against hope to find their family. Postwar Berlin is a wild west where drunken soldiers brawl, spies ply their trade and 'werewolves' - unrepentant Nazis - scheme to rise again.
Consumed with rage at her former country, Millie's job rooting out Nazis from publishing seems the perfect outlet. But her anger begins to thaw as she is faced with the reality of what the war has done to everyone, guilty at their own good fortune. Everyone except for Millie's boss, Major Harry Sutton, who seems too eager to be fair to the Germans and far too perceptive about Millie.
In the rubble of postwar Berlin, Millie is forced to confront a devastating secret and find the courage to embrace love - and a new beginning.
Atmospheric and page-turning, Return to Berlin is a story of love, survival, and forgiveness of others and of self.

Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order.

Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.

Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.
