The Secret Society of Salzburg
The Secret Society of Salzburg | Renee Ryan
8 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
From the author of The Widows of Champagne, and inspired by true events, comes a gripping and heartwrenching story of two very different women united to bring light to the darkest days of World War II. London, 1933 At first glance, Austrian opera singer Elsa Mayer-Braun has little in common with the young English typist she encounters on tour. Yet she and Hattie Featherstone forge an instant connection--and strike a dangerous alliance. Using their friendship as a cover, they form a secret society with a daring goal: to rescue as many Jews as possible from Nazi persecution. Though the war's outbreak threatens Elsa and Hattie's network, their efforts attract the covert attention of the British government, offering more opportunities to thwart the Germans. But Elsa's growing fame as Hitler's favorite opera singer, coupled with her secret Jewish ancestry, make her both a weapon and a target--until her future, too, hangs in the balance. From the glamorous stages of Covent Garden and Salzburg to the horrors of Bergen-Belsen, two ordinary women swept up by the tide of war discover an extraordinary friendship--and the courage to save countless lives.

While telling the story of the secret society of Salzburg and its well coordinated and brave effort to save many whose lives had been deemed worthless, this beautifully written book was also an ode to friendships. Not just surface skimming acquaintances, but deeply committed, self-sacrificing friendships. This book was a wonderful example of historical fiction at its best!

Thank you to Harlequin and @JustReadPublicityTours for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to review for them for The Book Tour earlier this week. This was my first time reading a book by Renee Ryan so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i did love this one very much more then i thought i would.
