Mrs. Wallenberg

In his latest Holocaust novel, Dolan heats up one of the great adventure tales of all time by unearthing a scorching love affair long hidden. History and sex... in its pages he promises you'll learn things about both many of you never knew.

The year is 1944, the place Budapest during the Nazi slaughter of Hungary's Jews. Stockholm rushes the thirty-two-year-old Swedish envoy Raoul Wallenberg to the city on a desperate mission to try and slow the carnage.

His compassionate courage lights a fire in a young interpreter at his country's embassy, the as feisty as she is gorgeous Berber Smit. Fifty years after events, it's she who narrates the book.

Soon both are as in love and lust as an NC-17 Romeo and Juliet, but their idyll is tarnished by the mounting danger Raoul faces from the SS murderers. Berber can only pray the liberating Russians fight their way to Budapest before the lovers' dream of a future together is shattered.

Ironically, when it does show, the Red Army hatches a calamity the pair have failed to foresee, propelling her on a life-threatening mission of her own...

If you're the kind of reader who likes a rousing historical thriller intelligently told; a romance peppered with sex as sex could be, should be; a scrappy heroine boasting the brains to match her beauty---don't walk to get your copy of Mrs. Wallenberg, run! As Berber herself says in its opening sentence,

"Here's a story you won't soon be forgetting."

***

"A tasty brew of uncensored love, deepest emotion, white-knuckle suspense, characters as alive as you and I,

Mrs. Wallenberg

is historical-fiction tea steeped to perfection. After but a few pages you'll be wanting it never to end." ----
