Every day he stood exactly where he was directed. He listened for his number, shouted his answer in the freezing cold. He was ragged and he was starving, but he was alive. He was one of the fortunate ones whom fate had left standing. And he needed to stay that way. For her.Germany, 1941. When Felix first spots Inge across a dimly lit dancefloor, it’s clear they come from two different worlds. It doesn’t matter – the joy in her face when she dances makes his heart skip a beat. The next time they see each other, it will be across the packed courtyard of a Nazi concentration camp. Felix never thought of himself as Jewish until the soldiers came to take him away. And Inge never knew that her father’s ‘party loyalty’ would extend to marrying her off to a cruel Nazi officer twice her age.Now, as Inge meets Felix’s gaze as he’s herded through a crowded courtyard in Sachsenhausen concentration camp, her heart is ripped in two. She knows she must save him, whatever the cost, whatever her husband might do to her later…A gripping and beautiful wartime love story about two people facing impossible odds – heartbreaking, moving and unforgettable. Perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, We Were the Lucky Ones and The Alice Network.What readers are saying about The Fortunate Ones:***** ‘What an amazing read, well written emotional and very compelling… I was totally absorbed in the story and I would love to give it 10 stars.
