Why read it?
1 author picked Some Girls, Some Hats and Hitler as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love taking elements from memoirs and spinning them into historical fiction. But some memoirs are better than novels, and this is one of them. Trudi recounts her life as a chic young hat designer in Vienna in 1938 who falls in love with Walter, a charming businessman. But Trudi and Walter are Jewish, and their love story rapidly becomes a desperate bid for survival, as the Nazis annexe Austria. Trudi is a wonderful writer, and her story is a gripping read of love, escape, and hope.
From Clare's list on WW2 memoirs by brave and remarkable women.
