Edelweiss by Madge Swindells is a poignant tale of heroism and love set during World War II in Europe.
Marietta von Burgheim, a beautiful heiress, abandons the comforts of her noble birth to join a student resistance group against the Nazis. She meets Bill Roth, an American correspondent in pre-war Berlin, and the two fall deeply in love. However, their passion is overshadowed by the horrors of war, particularly as Marietta’s step-brother, Hugo, rises to power within the SS. The battle for family legacy and survival mirrors the larger, brutal conflict of the war itself, as betrayal, courage, and love intersect.
