The novel describes the story of a pair of young people who lived on a small island between Britain and Germany on the eve of World War II. They met, got to know each other, fell in love, and then parted ways during the war. In particular, Rebecca's Jewish identity and Christopher's German identity made them deeply involved in the vortex of the Nazi concentration camp. After Jersey was occupied by the Nazis, Rebecca was deported to a concentration camp. Christopher came to Auschwitz in search of her and tried to rescue her. When he learned that Rebecca had been killed, he suppressed his grief and then used his own power to save many innocent Jews. At the trial after the war, those saved Jews came forward to testify for Christopher, proving that he was a great man. At this time, Christopher also learned that Rebecca was still alive, and their reunion was full of vicissitudes of the rest of their lives. In the end, they all returned to the warm golden island that they once thought would no longer exist, and returned to the place promised in childhood.

"Black Forest and White Rose" is Goodreads' annual outstanding historical novel. It is as beautiful as a poem, but it describes a painful historical lesson that cannot be forgotten. Based on a true story, it restores the life of Germans under Nazi rule. It has solid historical details, complex and profound human drama, and a tense rhythm like a thriller. A desperate young woman, because of the kindness in her heart that has not been wiped out by reality, saved another life and restored her own desire for life. She used her tenacity and bravery to rise from the ashes to write a touching wartime romantic story, watering pure and moving white roses in the darkness of the black forest. Behind the thrilling plot lies perseverance. I hope this power can warm everyone who reads this book.
