About This Novel
Summer 1935. On a lake near Berlin, a young man was sailing when a boat passed by him and he saw a woman leaning on the bow. Their eyes met-and one of the most audacious plans in history was born. Before he began his turbulent romance with Libertas Haas-Hayer, Haro Schulze-Boysen had already shed his blood in the fight against Nazism. Libertas joined the cause, and the two soon gathered a group of like-minded anti-fascist fighters, forming a network of resisters in Nazi-era Berlin to bravely resist the Nazis' reign of terror. Harrow himself also infiltrated the German military and intelligence services to deliver Nazi battle plans to the Allies, including details of Hitler's blitzkrieg campaign against the Soviet Union. But before young Harrow and Libertas are fully prepared, the omnipresent Gestapo is closing in - and in this secret war, it's hard to tell friend from foe. Harrow and Libertas were historically significant heroes who fought against the Nazi regime, but for a long time they did not receive the recognition they deserved, either in West or East Germany. Norman Oller used unpublished diaries, letters and Gestapo archives to reconstruct this heroic story of love and sacrifice in La Bohème.
