Her Jewish parents have been dragged into the streets by German soldiers, and if she and Jurgen return to their house, they will be taken, too.

Histoire0 out of 5 stars 0
Norway, 1940. Nazis pour into Oslo, a shroud of dread looms over the city, and eighteen-year-old Ingrid Solberg fears the worst. Under German rule, harsh rationing and the exorbitant cost of medicine threaten the lives of many, including Ingrid’s mother. And when Ingrid meets a young SS officer, she’s forced to make a desperate choice. Seventy years later, after the death of Ingrid in her adopted country of Canada, her son, Arnold, finds a disturbing letter in her belongings. He embarks on a journey to Oslo to understand his family’s history....
Description
Increasingly wary of her father's genetic research, Rachel Kramer has determined that this trip with him to Germany - in the summer of 1939 - will be her last. But a cryptic letter from her estranged friend, begging Rachel for help, changes everything.
Married to SS officer Gerhardt Schlick, Kristine sees the dark tides turning and fears her husband views their daughter, Amelie, deaf since birth, as a blight on his Aryan bloodline. Once courted by Schlick, Rachel knows he's as dangerous as the swastikas that hang like ebony spiders from every government building in Berlin. She fears her father's files may hold answers about Hitler's plans for others, like Amelie, whom the regime deems "unworthy of life". She risks searching his classified documents only to uncover shocking secrets about her own history and a family she's never known.
Now hunted by the SS, Rachel turns to Jason Young - a driven, disarming American journalist and unlikely ally - who connects her to the resistance and to controversial theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Forced into hiding, Rachel's every ideal is challenged as she and Jason walk a knife's edge, risking their lives - and asking others to do the same - for those they barely know but come to love.

Well Worth the Wait!
In the beginning I found myself growing impatient with this story. That was only in Part 1. During Parts 2 & 3, I was shocked, intrigued & completely focused on this audio. Definitely opened eyes to different aspects of WWII, until then, Id not realized or even thought of! Kept me awake through the night! I learned more about the resistance movements, connections that were very likely. A book with real issues from that era, yet with a different spin than Ive ever heard! I appreciate the honest truth of the likely events, yet not filled w cussing & all the gritty details most feed upon in this day. Amazed also at Bonhoffer's showing up ;) Plenty ppl tell U the story outline. So I'll just tell U Parts 2 & 3 have enough action to grasp the focus of Part 1..also, I'll tell you it's now in my top 5 of favorite audios! Narrator gets better & better as the focus shifts from America to Germany. Excellent Audio performance of an Excellent Book witten!

Good mystery and performance.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It is a bit depressing but is based on the awful truths in the time of hitler, but I think it ends well, so probably.
What does Rachel Botchan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She's a good narrator, good with different voices, etc., but she pauses at odd times, not enough to detract from the story.

Not exactly what I expected
Basically, this is a good story. I just wasn't prepared for the heavy religious input. As a Christian it was not at all offensive, but for those of other faiths or none at all it may be off putting.

Loved it
Would you consider the audio edition of Saving Amelie to be better than the print version?
For me it is. A printed version is something I don' think I would buy
Who was your favorite character and why?
Uma, the little deaf girl, and the priests
What about Rachel Botchan’s performance did you like?
That she after a long time ended up seeing she wasn't in the center of the world. The idea of genocides is repelling
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
Just loved juved it. It was really exciting and filled with some action
