‘Ava fell in love the night the Nazis first showed their true nature to the world …’
A retelling of the Grimms' Beauty and The Beast, set in Nazi Germany.

It’s August 1939 in Germany, and Ava’s world is in turmoil. To save her father, she must marry a young Nazi officer, Leo von Löwenstein, who works for Hitler's spy chief in Berlin. However, she hates and fears the brutal Nazi regime, and finds herself compelled to stand against it.

Ava joins an underground resistance movement that seeks to help victims survive the horrors of the German war machine. But she must live a double life, hiding her true feelings from her husband, even as she falls in love with him.

Gradually she comes to realise that Leo is part of a dangerous conspiracy to assassinate Hitler. As Berlin is bombed into ruins, the Gestapo ruthlessly hunt down all resistance and Ava finds herself living hand-to-mouth in the rubble of the shell-shocked city. Both her life and Leo’s hang in the balance.

Filled with danger, intrigue and romance, The Beast’s Garden, a retelling of the Grimm brothers' ‘Beauty and The Beast’, is a beautiful, compelling love story set in a time when the world seemed on the brink of collapse.

Very good story

This is a really well written and thought provoking book. It flows well, and the characters are all beautifully defined. A very entertaining historical novel and well worth a read.

The story covers a wide range of topics all centred around Berlin in WW2. Ava and Leo beat all the odds to survive and remain true to their honour and humanity.

Pearl

juxtaposed against this beautiful inner city park

Reviewed in the United States on 5 February 2016

Verified Purchase

I read this book after returning home to Australia after travelling across central europe and spending time in Dresden, Berlin including Potsdam and via Dusseldorf, home through New York. I recall walking through the Brandenburg Gate and through the Tiergarten in Berlin past the WWII history boards and quietly reading again the horrifying statistics of man's inhumanity to man, juxtaposed against this beautiful inner city park. I found this story poignant in giving another perspective of the incomprehensible. It resonates with the trend in art and post war reviews we witnessed throughout our trip by the current generation trying to comprehend. This story of courage and love speaks to the trauma with heart and hope.

This book has been researched brilliantly, and weaves an incredible story from start to finish. Kate has brought World War II to life in a very personal way.

I enjoyed the story line and I liked the characters and it was interesting to read the fact that some Berliner’s helped to hide the Jews and with their escape. It appeared to be well researched.
