About this audiobook

Summary

A young English cellist trades her quiet life in Kent for the electric concert halls of 1930s Berlin — and the arms of a brilliant German conductor whose ambitions run darker than she ever imagined. As the Reich tightens its grip on the city's cultural soul, Imogen Marchmont discovers that the music she loves has become a weapon, and that her own silence carries a terrible cost. To reclaim her voice, she must risk everything: her marriage, her safety, and the fragile world she built on someone else's compromise.
