    About this audiobook

    For three women in postwar Germany, 1945 is a time of hope—lost and found—in this powerful novel by the bestselling author of The Woman on the Orient Express.

    Just weeks after World War II ends, three women from different corners of the world arrive in Germany to run a Displaced Persons camp. They long to help rebuild shattered lives—including their own…

    For Martha, going to Germany provides an opportunity to escape Brooklyn and a violent marriage. Arriving from England is orphaned Kitty. She hopes working at the camp will bring her closer to her parents, last seen before the war began. For Delphine, Paris has been a city of ghosts after her husband and son died in Dachau. Working at the camp is her chance to find meaning again by helping other victims of Hitler’s regime.

    Charged with the care of more than two thousand camp residents, Martha, Delphine, and Kitty draw on each other’s strength to endure and to give hope when all seems lost. Among these strangers and survivors, they might find the love and closure they need to heal their hearts and leave their troubled pasts behind.

      Amazing book. I didn't know much about Germany during the repatriation period after WWII. After reading this book, I want to learn more. Excellent read.

      A Feather on the Water focuses on an often overlooked period of World War II: the months and years just after the end of the war as the many displaced persons struggle to survive and find their next steps after the devastation of the war. Three women from very different circumstances come together in German to run a displaced persons' camp. Their personal stories are interwoven with those of the people they serve and it was a compelling book. Lindsay Jayne Ashford creates complex characters and digs into the details of those chaotic days.

      Just weeks after WWII ends 3 women arrive in Germany to run a Displaced Persons Camp. American Martha is fleeing an abusive marriage, French Delfine, an older nurse, and refugee Kitty from England. Very interesting historical setting.

      Wonderful and very detailed descriptions of the lives of three women who found themselves together managing a displaced persons camp at the end of WW II. The stories of each of them were fascinating and compelling---really a page turner series of happenings for each of them along with their interrelationships.
