How have I been lucky enough to come here, to be alive, when so many others are not? I should have died.… But I am here. 1945.

Recovering from the horror, she meets Paul, an American soldier who gives her hope of a happier future. But their plans to meet in London are dashed when Paul's plane crashes.

For anyone seeking an immersion in the bath of uneasiness. A gripping tale. Just be sure to put your blinders on first so that you can ignore the speed with which Marta becomes fluent with the English language and the implausible plot. 3.5 stars.The Diplomats Wife is a sequel to The Kommandants Girl, but the novel follows the life of Marta, a supporting character in the life of Emma. But unlike The Kommandants Girl, I had a hard time getting into the story or, even, caring about Marta.I think my lack of sympathy for Marta stems from the fact that The Kommandants Girl presents her as an unlikeable person. She falls for Emmas husband, although she had no idea Jacob was married, and still cannot let go of him in The Diplomats Wife, despite
Original review can be found at https://kristineandterri.blogspot.com...The Diplomat's Wife is the second book in the Kommandant's Girl series but it can be read as a stand alone. It told the story of what happened Marta, who played a significant role in the ending of the first book, after that book ended. I listened to the audiobook of The Diplomat's Wife.I did not enjoy this book near as much as the first book. I found it to be extremely unrealistic and completely predictable at the same time.
I liked this book.It was exciting (most of the time). It had a nice pace (most of the time). It held my attention, except on those few occasions when a word or a smell or a rock would send my mind drifting back through time, and I would recall the time I hid in a cave with Peeta. But I knew I mustn't think of him, and I would throw myself back into the book at hand.I loved the setting, both historically and geographically. I liked hearing the stories from Marta's time working with the
While listening to this book by rating kept switching back and forth between 4 and 5 stars. This was an historical fiction story that takes place just after WWII. This was a time of great upheaval and political change and Russia was controlling large parts of Eastern Europe and communism had taken a hold. This story takes place during this time. It was also an historical romance full of heartbreak and a story of friendship. Being a sequel to The Kommandant's Girl, I thought it would be the story
The characters of this book are one-dimensional and missing of depth, everything seems superficial and the love story between Paul and Marta is unrealistic. The story kept my attention until Marta and Paul run into each other in Paris and after they spent one day together suddenly decided to get married. Everything was so surrealistic that give me more the feeling of an imaginary tale as a historical novel. Very disappointed.
Another WWII book, that was amazing. I truly wish this book is made into a movie. It was very well written, and it got your attention right at the beginning. The last 100 pages had my up until 2am, biting my nails while finishing it. Although, I did predict a key part of it, there were still some twists and turns, that I was totally not expecting. A great read!
