Description
"Kelly Rimmer is at her most skillful here... An emotional, haunting tale." --Julia Kelly, internationally bestselling author of The Dressmakers of London In the aftermath of a tumultuous year, Fiona Winslow finds solace in the decaying grandeur of Wurimbirra, the rambling family estate she once called home. Intent on restoring it, she discovers the keys to more than just the dilapidated mansion--beneath the crumbling plaster and dust are secrets that have been buried for a generation. When a curious book, The Midnight Estate, catches her attention in her late uncle's library, Fiona is plunged into a tale that mirrors her own--a story of love, loss and betrayal. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, Fiona must ask herself: Is the true mystery the one hidden within the walls of her ancestral home, or is it within the pages of a book that chose her as much as she chose it? Told in a dual narrative and set against the Gothic backdrop of Wurimbirra, Kelly Rimmer, bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say, weaves an intricate and compelling tale, inviting readers into the heart of a family's deepest secrets with an absorbing book-within-a-book mystery. "Kelly Rimmer always delivers a poignant story with real characters who lodge themselves in your heart." --New York Times bestselling author Madeline Martin

Critical Reviews
"A fast-paced tale of heroes, double agents and mystery." --Michelle Gable, New York Times bestselling author of The Lipstick Bureau on The Paris Agent
"Skillfully researched and powerfully written, The German Wife will capture you from the first page. Kelly Rimmer always delivers a poignant story--this book is no exception." --Madeline Martin, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Bookshop in London "The German Wife is a heart-wrenching, uplifting story about love and family and the choices people make in impossible situations. An unforgettable historical novel that explores important questions highly relevant to the world today." --Christine Wells, author of Sisters of the Resistance "Once again, Kelly Rimmer has turned my emotions upside down. With every book of hers I read, I become a more thoughtful and empathetic person, but The German Wife is, without a doubt, the jewel in her crown." --Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of The Younger Wife "The German Wife moves beyond the better-known stories to uncover the hidden horrors of the Second World War and what it was like for the women--and the men they loved--during that time. A must-read." --Jane Cockram, author of The Way from Here "Rimmer's heart-stopping rendering of the war in Nazi-occupied Poland will captivate readers page-by-page. Elzbieta's tale offers a carefully researched portrayal of history's darkest hours." --Lisa Wingate, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours on The Warsaw Orphan "What a fantastic book! Intensely moving, The Warsaw Orphan is also a wonderful, ultimately life-affirming love story. I'm going to be recommending this book to everyone I know." --Karen Robards, New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan of Paris "Fans of The Nightingale and Lilac Girls will adore The Things We Cannot Say." --Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris "If you only have time to read one book this year, The Things We Cannot Say should be that book." --Fresh Fiction "The author's research has captured the tension that those who lived through that time experienced at deep levels. Kelly Rimmer's scenes in both eras are fraught, urging the reader to keep turning the page, anxious to learn about each character's experiences, right up to the very end."-- New York Journal of Books "[The Paris Agent] is another great Kelly Rimmer novel, no one writes them better than her. It's filled with well-written characters, interesting stories, and shocking twists and turns. You will not want to put this one down. A perfect summer beach read." --Red Carpet Crash
