The Curator's Daughter

De: Melanie Dobson

Narrado por: Nancy Peterson

Hanna Tillich cherishes her work as an archaeologist for the Third Reich, searching for the Holy Grail and other artifacts to bolster evidence of a master Aryan race. But when she is reassigned to work as a museum curator in Nuremberg, then forced to marry an SS officer and adopt a young girl, she begins to see behind the Nazi facade. A prayer labyrinth becomes a storehouse for her secrets, but as she comes to love Lilly as her own daughter, she fears that what she’s hiding—and what she begins to uncover—could put them both in mortal danger.

Eighty years later, Ember Ellis is a Holocaust researcher intent on confronting hatred toward the Jewish people and other minorities. She reconnects with a former teacher on Martha’s Vineyard after she learns that Mrs. Kiehl’s mother once worked with the Nazi Ahnenerbe. And yet, Mrs. Kiehl describes her mother as “a friend to the Jewish people.” Wondering how both could be true, Ember helps Mrs. Kiehl regain her fractured childhood memories of World War II while at the same time confronting the heartache of her own secret past—and the person who wants to silence her forever.

Suspenseful

Great story that kept you on your toes. I like the back and forth of two stories and generations and how they interact. Very good all the way around.

Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you for writing! In a day when many are trying to deny the holocaust it is good to remember and not be silent.

Another Wonderful Book!

This is the third book I have listened to by Melanie Dobson. Like the other two, she has found a way to weave together a powerful storyline between WWII and the present day.

Hard to out down!

I enjoyed listening and could not put it down! The narrator was great to listen to. I marvel at the bravery of many of the people in the story. Hopefully by reading stories, people can learn and prevent hatred in the world.

Touching Historical

The story was intriguing and beautiful. Parts were sad to realize, once again, the tragic history of WW2. Thank God for your faithful heroes during that period of history. Melanie is a wonderful writer. Reader was outstanding.

Another Great Story from Melanie Dobson!Perfectly written and excellently researched. I learned something I'd not known.

There's nothing I disliked. I liked the whole story and the Christian reminders to give thanks in prayers to our Lord.

Unique storyline

Great story, a little slow to start but worth sticking with, not my favorite of this author’s but worth the credit just the same. Exceptional narration, as always from Nancy Peterson.

Good story but annoyingly religious

For a secular person like me, the overwhelming references to Christianity was very irritating. It took away from my enjoyment of the story.
