A "mesmerizing" re-imagination of the final months of World War II (Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network), Hannah's War is an unforgettable love story about an exceptional woman and the dangerous power of her greatest discovery.
Berlin, 1938. Groundbreaking physicist Dr. Hannah Weiss is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the 20th century: splitting the atom. She understands that the energy released by her discovery can power entire cities or destroy them. Hannah believes the weapon's creation will secure an end to future wars, but as a Jewish woman living under the harsh rule of the Third Reich, her research is belittled, overlooked, and eventually stolen by her German colleagues. Faced with an impossible choice, Hannah must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of science's greatest achievement.
New Mexico, 1945. Returning wounded and battered from the liberation of Paris, Major Jack Delaney arrives in the New Mexican desert with a mission: to catch a spy. Someone in the top-secret nuclear lab at Los Alamos has been leaking encoded equations to Hitler's scientists. Chief among Jack's suspects is the brilliant and mysterious Hannah Weiss, an exiled physicist lending her talent to J. Robert Oppenheimer's mission. All signs point to Hannah as the traitor, but over three days of interrogation that separate her lies from the truth, Jack will realize they have more in common than either one bargained for.
Hannah's War is a thrilling wartime story of loyalty, truth, and the unforeseeable fallout of a single choice.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Jan Eliasberg knows how to open big with strong suspense and wry humor and take us for a hurtling ride through one of America's most complex moments. The wonderful characters of Hannah's War bring together a moving love story, a high-stakes mystery and a fascinating look into the moral compass of an exceptional woman." (Amy Bloom, author of White Houses)
"Hannah's War is a gripping cat-and-mouse tale of love, war, deception, and espionage you won't be able to put down. Jan Eliasberg elevates the spy thriller with her clear, fierce admiration for the women of the past who refused to be edged out of the world of scientific discovery. Mesmerizing." (Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network)
"At the center of this novel you will find love and physics entangled together in the life of a heroic woman whose bravery and brilliance helped to change the course of modern history. Jan Eliasberg's extraordinary novel is a fictionalized version of what really happened, and despite its serious subject matter, the story moves forward with great speed and power, giving off both heat and light. This is a great story about a woman of genius." (Charles Baxter, author of The Feast of Love)

A novel interlaced with historical facts and figures, it is based on the story of a real person, a Jewish Austrian woman who worked at the Keiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin as Hitler rose to power, and who never received due credit for her role in the discovery of nuclear fission. Part history, part spy story with a soupçon of romance, it is as gripping as it is fascinating.
Even if you have already read Hannah's War, do yourself a favor and listen to it as well. The sensory experience of hearing the story is vastly different than reading Eliasberg's superb writing. Her turning of phrases, her vocabulary, her incredible ability to set a mood are all enhanced by Orlagh Cassidy's equally superb narration. Even though I knew the ending, I dissolved into tears of emotion at the power and implications of the Manhattan Project as invoked by Eliasberg.
A must listen!

The narrator is fantastic. Every character, and there are many, is brought to life with there own distinct voice.
The horror of World War Two is presented in a new and unusual way.
This book is one great listen.
Thanks to you all.
