Amid the ashes of Nazi Germany’s defeat, Marianne von Lingenfels returns to the once-grand castle of her husband’s ancestors. The widow of a murdered resister, Marianne plans to uphold the promise she made to her husband’s brave conspirators: to find and protect their wives.First Marianne rescues six-year-old Martin from a Nazi reeducation home. Together, they make their way to Berlin, where Martin’s mother, Benita, has fallen into the hands of occupying Red Army soldiers. Then Marianne locates Ania, another resister’s wife, and her two boys, now refugees languishing in one of the many camps that house the millions displaced by the war. As Marianne assembles this makeshift family from the ruins of her husband’s resistance movement, she is certain their shared pain and circumstances will hold them together. But she quickly discovers that the highly principled world of her privileged past has become infinitely more complicated, and filled with dark secrets that threaten to tear them apart. The Women in the Castle is a dramatic yet nuanced portrait of war and its repercussions that explores what it means to survive, to love, and, ultimately, to forgive in the wake of unimaginable hardship
