City of Women

“David Gillham’s excellent new novel, City of Women, is built on one of the most extraordinary and faithful re-creations of a time in history—Berlin in World War II—that I’ve ever read.”

—Alan Furst, New York Times–bestselling author of Spies of the Balkans

“In this moving and masterful debut, David Gillham brings war-torn Berlin to life and reveals the extraordinary mettle of women tested to their limits and beyond. Powerful and piercingly real. You won’t soon forget these characters.”

—Paula McLain, New York Times–bestselling author of The Paris Wife

“Haunting and sensual, City of Women is a story of survival, of the unfathomable choices made and consequences suffered by those pushed to the brink. David Gillham has depicted a little-known aspect of the war with humanity and grace.”

—Pam Jenoff, internationally bestselling author of The Things We Cherished

“If you enjoy beautiful story telling, gripping suspense, and a distractingly romantic plot, this is the book for you! An exciting, page turning read!”

—Kathleen Grissom, New York Times–bestselling author of The Kitchen House

“City of Women is a big, brilliant, passionate book, a masterful evocation of Hitler’s Berlin in all its claustrophobia, duplicity, and fear. This is a thriller of searing intensity… I found it utterly compelling.”

—Margaret Leroy, New York Times–bestselling author of The Soldier’s Wife
