ABOUT FLIGHT OF THE HUMMINGBIRD
Everyone needs someone to trust in dark times. But what if you choose the wrong person?
In the aftermath of the Great War, young Berlin resident Renata Schmidt finds herself alone and struggling to survive. Until a chance encounter with Erich Wagner sees sparks fly . . .
Erich returned from the battlefield to a divided and weakened Germany. Full of resentment and anger at his country’s humiliating defeat, he falls under the spell of the fiery nationalist Adolf Hitler.
Although Renata has doubts about Erich’s growing political ambitions, she quickly embraces marriage and motherhood. Erich believes that a brighter future is on the horizon for Germany, but forces darker than they could have imagined are taking over . . . Will Renata heed the warnings of friends, family, and society at large before it’s too late?
This thought-provoking and timely novel set in interwar Germany explores how ordinary people can fall prey to dark forces with devastating consequences. A great pick for fans of compelling historical fiction from authors such as Kristin Hannah, Kate Quinn, and Anna Stuart.
