Resumen del Editor
“The Historians blends a fascinating historical intrigue with the quick pace and excitement of a thriller.” (Ellen Keith, author of The Dutch Wife)
“The perfect read.... Exciting and enjoyable.” (New York Times Book Review)
The Secret History meets The Alice Network in this riveting tale of murder and conspiracy in Sweden during WWII by critically acclaimed author Cecilia Eckbäck.
It is 1943, and Sweden’s neutrality in the war is under pressure. Laura Dahlgren, the bright, young right-hand of the chief negotiator to Germany, is privy to these tensions, even as she tries to keep her head down in the mounting fray. However, when Laura’s best friend from university, Britta, is discovered murdered in cold blood, Laura is determined to find the killer.
Prior to her death, Britta sent a report on the racial profiling in Scandinavia to the secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jens Regnell. In the middle of negotiating a delicate alliance with Hitler and the Nazis, Jens doesn’t understand why he’s received the report. When the pursuit of Britta’s murderer leads Laura to his door, the two join forces to get at the truth.
But as Jens and Laura attempt to untangle the mysterious circumstance surrounding Britta’s death, they only become more mired in a web of lies and deceit. This trail will lead to a conspiracy that could topple their nation’s identity - a conspiracy some in Sweden will try to keep hidden at any cost.

Historia
When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

Brussels, 1943. Twelve-year-old street orphan Helene survives by living as a boy and selling copies of the country’s most popular newspaper, Le Soir, now turned into Nazi propaganda. Helene’s entire world changes when she befriends a rogue journalist, Marc Aubrion, who draws her into a secret network that publishes dissident underground newspapers. The Nazis track down Aubrion’s team and give them an impossible choice: Turn the resistance newspapers into a Nazi propaganda bomb that will sway public opinion against the Allies, or be killed.

Historia
Wyatt Gwyon's desire to forge is not driven by larceny but from love. Exactingly faithful to the spirit and letter of the Flemish masters, he produces uncannily accurate "originals" - pictures the painters themselves might have envied. In an age of counterfeit emotion and taste, the real and fake have become indistinguishable; yet Gwyon's forgeries reflect a truth that others cannot touch - cannot even recognize.

Historia
From the best-selling author of the Sandman Slim series, a lush, dark, stand-alone fantasy built off the insurgent tradition of China Mieville and M. John Harrison - a subversive tale that immerses us in a world where the extremes of bleakness and beauty exist together in dangerous harmony in a city on the edge of civility and chaos. The Great War is over. The city of Lower Proszawa celebrates the peace with a decadence and carefree spirit as intense as the war’s horrifying despair.

Historia
Vienna, 1954 After losing everyone she loves in the final days of World War II, Ingrid Bauer agrees to a hasty marriage with a gentle Soviet embassy worker and follows him home to Moscow. But nothing within the Soviet Union’s totalitarian regime is what it seems, including her new husband, whom Ingrid suspects works for the KGB. Inspired by her daughter’s birth, Ingrid risks everything and reaches out in hope to the one country she understands and trusts—Britain, the country of her mother’s birth. She begins passing intelligence to MI6, navigating a world of secrets and lies, light and shadow.

The air is stuffy, carrying the scent of our terror—none of us know what awaits us when this train stops. I cling onto Mama’s hand and Nora, my twin sister, clutches Papa’s.

Interesting Take on WWII
I feel like there aren’t a lot of novels centered around the Nordic nations during WWII, so this was a nice perspective. Lots of characters in the beginning, making it a little harder to follow if you’re doing other things while listening! Overall, and interesting and good listen!

A must read!
A clear look at how far some will go in the name of "race hygiene " and eugenics. The ugly truth revealed.

Didn’t get that into it
Maybe I wasn’t paying good enough attention on my part, I just wasn’t that drawn in. It was good to learn more about this part of history though.

Good
I loved this book until the end. It was intriguing with a great plot and interesting characters. The dialogue was interesting. Then it just felt like the book kind of ended incomplete.

A different visit to Scandinavia
The storyline of this book is fascinating and a bit frightening. The characters are believable and Laura and Jens well-defined. Descriptions of area and other characters are good. I would recommend this book to historic fiction fans and to those who have lived or visited Scandinavia. It’s a good read!

compelling
It was an amazing book, I love the performance she's my favorite reader. The characters were developed brilliantly. My only question is I thought Jens put Britta's thesis in the garage and then took it out and put it in his desk. I kept waiting for the moment he would find it as I thought he'd forgotten what he did. I even went back and listened to see if I had it wrong. I am wondering where I went wrong?

Difficult Beginning, Improved, Powerful Story... Definitely Recommend
I had trouble getting into the story... checked out some reviews and learned it was worth continuing... I'm grateful I did– it was a hard and difficult Journey which I'm grateful I took...

A good listen
Set during World War II, this tale is different than the norm. Scandinavian history regarding race and claims of superiority, here specifically in Sweden, is a topic I was not knowledgeable about. The story is interesting with good characters (some aren't good people) and superbly narrated by Saskia Maarleveld, as always.

Scandinavia in WWll
Interesting information about Sweden during the WWll era. For some people it will be very surprising and worth learning. Do listen to the author’s notes at the end of the book.
I didn’t like the structure of the book, the alternating narrators. This seems to be a popular technique right now. I prefer a more seamless style.

tedious tangle
The background of Swedish politics (Aryan supremicists vs. fair-haired/fair-minded folk) that maintained the country's WWII neutrality is interesting and appropriately horrifying.
The murder plot is intricate and slow. I'd hoped for distraction on a three-hour drive, but I ended up switching to public radio.
