In 1943, Rosa followed her husband to the small village where he lived. It happened that Hitler needed food testers to prevent him from being murdered. On the recommendation of the village chief, she became one of more than a dozen food testers. In a closed environment and under the watchful eye of jailers, ten young women form an alliance where secret contracts and friendships intertwine.
Inspired by the true story of Margot Volk, Hitler's last drug tester, the author tells the story of one woman's life. With powerful strokes, she explores the complexity of the human soul, a history of violence and vulnerability, and people's strong desire to survive under pressure.

It was very well written and made me understand the history.
There are many details worth pondering.
It feels a bit difficult to read, but I still think it's exciting
