The German Wife by Kelly Rimmer is a historical fiction novel alternating between 1930s-40s Berlin and 1950s Alabama. It follows Sofie, a German woman forced to support the Nazi regime to protect her family, and Lizzie, an American battling depression-era poverty and later, resentment towards German scientists. The story explores moral compromises during WWII and the tense, post-war immigration of German scientists to the U.S.
