A Feather on the Water

A Novel

By: Lindsay Jayne Ashford

Narrated by: Abby Craden

For three women in postwar Germany, 1945 is a time of hope—lost and found—in this powerful novel by the bestselling author of The Woman on the Orient Express.

Just weeks after World War II ends, three women from different corners of the world arrive in Germany to run a Displaced Persons camp. They long to help rebuild shattered lives—including their own…

For Martha, going to Germany provides an opportunity to escape Brooklyn and a violent marriage. Arriving from England is orphaned Kitty. She hopes working at the camp will bring her closer to her parents, last seen before the war began. For Delphine, Paris has been a city of ghosts after her husband and son died in Dachau. Working at the camp is her chance to find meaning again by helping other victims of Hitler’s regime.

Charged with the care of more than two thousand camp residents, Martha, Delphine, and Kitty draw on each other’s strength to endure and to give hope when all seems lost. Among these strangers and survivors, they might find the love and closure they need to heal their hearts and leave their troubled pasts behind.

A Different Look At WW II

I’ve always been interested in WWII
Novels; this is perspective I have never read or even thought about before: the plight of all the displaced persons created by the war.
A well told story of the refugee camps created for the caring & repatriation of thousands of displaced persons.

Great book

I have finished listening to the audio book and really enjoyed it. I have not read anything about the refuges after World War II ended. The author made it seem like one was in the camp with them. This is a interesting, well written book and the narrator was great too.

WWII History

well written with engaging characters set after the end of the war. I had never read about how the UN assisted all those displaced by war to once again find homes.

Informatively Entertaining

Heart warming not too gushy. The people camp and camp life were presented as reminiscence from events that happened in the past with the ups and downs joys happiness and sadness of life

Wonderful story

Great story and awesome presentation! Loved the authors not at the end. Definitely keeping my eye out for more from Lindsay Ashford!
