Review: The Women at Hitler’s Table

The Women at Hitler’s Table by Rosella Postorino
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Germany during WWII, Hitler was afraid someone would try to poison his food to kill him. So, a group of 10 women are ‘recruited’ to be food tasters. They eat the same meals as Hitler, only one hour before, they are watched to see if any thing untoward happens…..

This is the tale of those women, based on the memories of a woman that was actually there, was one of these tasters. It is their stories, of their lives, families and the effects this war had on them all.

Well written and incredibly thought provoking – just how far would you go to keep those close to you safe, to save your own life?
