The Woman, Inge

A compelling, hard-hitting story of World War II’s aftermath that has never before been told in American fiction. This deeply moving novel offers unusual glimpses of life among the German people, from the time of the Berlin siege, the surrender, and the Allied Occupation, through the crisis of the Soviet Blockade and the life-saving United States Airlift, to the establishment of the Berlin Wall.

Just a teenager, Inge Haupt falls victim to the marauding Russians besieging Berlin after the fall of the Third Reich. After her sister is among those brutally murdered, her life becomes a nightmare. She survives the ordeal – the rape, the severe injuries, the starvation, and the near total devastation of her city – with the resilience of youth, and with the strength of her commitment to forge a better future. But her solemn vow also survives – to avenge her sister’s murder. Neither love nor a new life in the United States can weaken her resolve.

Inspired by actual events, this rare tale of survival, retribution, and endurance describes the stoic courage of a vanquished yet resilient people.
