The Secret Letter

This historical fiction is set during WWII in Germany and England. Magda, one of the main characters lives near Augsburg, Germany on a farm. Her brother, Karl, attends Oxford University. Magda misses her brothers so much, so when she received a letter telling about the war she kept it, even though he asked her to destroy it. This action leads to danger for her family. Magda has also been encouraged to join a German Girls League. Another of the characters, Imogen, who lives in England with her friends. They have all been sent away from home to live in other towns. The story grows by telling each girl's story as the war goes on. Including their plans when they grow up. This story is so moving. It caught at my heart from the beginning. I recommend this book highly. This book was sent to me by NetGalley, and Bookouture in exchange for an honest review.
