The German Wife by Kelly Rimmer follows Sofie von Meyer Rhodes, a German woman whose husband is a scientist in Nazi Germany’s rocket program. Despite their opposition to Hitler, the family relocates to Alabama under Operation Paperclip in 1950. Parallelly, Lizzie Miller, an American woman living through the Dust Bowl in Texas, becomes connected to Sofie’s family through her husband’s involvement in the U.S. space program. The novel explores themes of moral compromise, guilt, and the challenges of reconciliation in a divided society. Rimmer’s detailed research and dual perspectives reveal the complexities of war’s aftermath and the search for redemption.
