I finally read a book by Jennifer Chiaverini! I’ve meant to for ages now, and I’m thrilled to say my first book from her was epic! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Mildred Fish is a graduate student from Wisconsin. She marries a German economist, Arvid Harnack, and moves with him to Germany. Berlin in the 1930s is swimming with intellectuals, and the newlyweds are enjoying their work and social lives.
At the same time, we all know Hitler and his Nazi party are rising in power. Mildred and Arvid decide to resist. Mildred begins by collecting intelligence for the US. Her friends, Greta and Sara, collect information from all manner of sources, including Nazi officials. They build a network to retrieve and share intelligence.
Mildred and her group work for years until they are exposed.
Resistance Women is inspired by true events. I was completely enamored with Mildred, her devotion to doing what’s right, and how she helped build a network of individuals who for years provided insider information she could bravely and boldly share for the good of the entire world.
Resistance Women is a story to sink into, to relax and explore, to worry, to feel, and to think. Would you do the same thing these three women did? The book is thoughtful, thought-provoking, powerful, and inspiring. The author’s note including information on the real people is not to be missed!
I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

A review as thought-provoking as the book. Great work, Jennifer!
Great review, Jennifer. I love that so many of these stories of courageous women are being written. Sounds like one for me.
Excellent review Jennifer! I keep meaning to read this author too. Someday soon.
Sounds like a must read!!! Fantastic review!!!
Wonderful review, Jennifer!
Great review, Jennifer. So glad you loved this one. I've yet to read one of her books, as well.
Amazing review Jennifer! I love that the stories of what women did during the war are coming to light.
Love your review. I have only read Chiaverini's standalone novels and they are either a hit or miss for me.
Fabulous review, Jennifer! I’m happy to see how much you enjoyed this one making me now over the moon excited to get started on it today! ;) 💕
I’m currently reading it. I’ve been reading it since May 21st...it’s what I call a slow burn...it’s not full of action so far but it’s full of character building....so basically so far I like the book, the pre war years are a newer perspective and I plan to finish.
Sounds like a good one! Terrific review, Jennifer!! ☺
I just finished it...it was a long 600 pages but well written and full of information, I need something light now... like THIS CHRISTMAS by Jane Green...from one extreme to another..
