Acerca de esta escucha
From the author of The Widows of Champagne, and inspired by true events, comes a gripping and heartwrenching story of two very different women united to bring light to the darkest days of World War II.
London, 1933
At first glance, Austrian opera singer Elsa Mayer-Braun has little in common with the young English typist she encounters on tour. Yet she and Hattie Featherstone forge an instant connection—and strike a dangerous alliance. Using their friendship as a cover, they form a secret society with a daring goal: to rescue as many Jews as possible from Nazi persecution.
Though the war’s outbreak threatens Elsa and Hattie’s network, their efforts attract the covert attention of the British government, offering more opportunities to thwart the Germans. But Elsa’s growing fame as Hitler’s favorite opera singer, coupled with her secret Jewish ancestry, make her both a weapon and a target—until her future, too, hangs in the balance.
From the glamorous stages of Covent Garden and Salzburg to the horrors of Bergen-Belsen, two ordinary women swept up by the tide of war discover an extraordinary friendship—and the courage to save countless lives.

Historia
Paris, 1940. The Nazis have occupied the city - and the Ritz. The opulent old hotel, so loved by Parisians, is now full of swaggering officers, their minions and their mistresses. For American Olivia Olsen, working as a chambermaid at the hotel means denying her nationality and living a lie, every day bringing the danger of discovery closer. When Hitler’s right-hand man moves in and makes her his pet, she sees an opportunity to help the Resistance - and draw closer to Jack, her contact, whose brusque instructions may be a shield for something more....

Historia
On an April day in 1937, the sky opens and fire rains down upon the small Spanish town of Guernica. Seventeen-year-old Sibi and her family are caught up in the horror. Griff, an American military attaché, pulls Sibi from the wreckage, and it’s only the first time he saves her life in a span of hours. When Germany claims no involvement in the attack, insisting the Spanish Republic was responsible, Griff guides Sibi to lie to Nazi officials. If she or her sisters reveal that they saw planes bearing swastikas, the gestapo will silence them—by any means necessary.

Historia
As the war begins, Hanna Rombauer, a young German woman, is sent to live with her aunt and uncle after her mother’s death. Thrown into a life of luxury she never expected, Hanna soon finds herself unwillingly matched with an SS officer twenty years her senior. The independence that her mother lovingly fostered in her is considered highly inappropriate as the future wife of an up-and-coming officer and she is sent to a “bride school.” There, in a posh villa on the outskirts of town, Hanna is taught how to be a “proper” German wife.

When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters. For Rose, the Resistance is a link to her late husband, and a way to move forward without him. What starts out as helping downed airmen becomes a bigger cause when they meet Sophia, a German escapee and fierce critic of Hitler who is wanted by the Gestapo.

Magnificent story brought further to life by Audio
As a fan of Renee Ryan’s category romances, I’m equally thrilled with her historicals. The Secret Society of Salzburg is a breathless undertaking full of lovely writing and in-depth research. I traveled to Austria, Germany, and England, thanks to this book. Learned so much about opera, art, and the inhumanity unleashed on the world during Hitler’s rise to power.
Finally, brava to Henrietta Meier for her exceptional voice and talented portrayals. She made these characters unique in which they leapt off the page and into audio. Amazing!!

Good story well told
Two love stories—one with a tragic ending and a bumpy one with a happy ending.
The reader did voices really well, but her German pronunciation left something to be desired.

Interesting story.
Narrator spoke in bursts. After a moment it became annoying to the point that I had to stop. A better narrator with a smooth transition from sentence to sentence would be much easier to listen to.

Enjoy the opera
I was reluctant at first, bouncing years with the same character was confusing at first. It the story was wonderful, and historical fiction is always best when served with some truth.

Almost gave up…many times!
I really struggled to get into the book. The story line did not flow for me. The performance unfortunately grated on my nerves. Just not my cup of tea.

Loved this story!
While I wasn’t a big fan of the narration style (it just didn’t seem like the best fit for the story), I absolutely fell in love with the story itself. The bravery and personalities written into the characters was wonderful. I will definitely listen to this one again in the future!
