In 1943, with her husband at war and her parents dead, twenty-five-year-old Rosa Sauer flees Berlin to seek refuge in the German countryside with her in-laws. But when she's conscripted to be one of Hitler's "tasters"—forced to eat his meals to test for poison—Rosa realizes she's relocated right into the Führer's secret hideout, the "Wolf's Lair." Twice a day, Rosa must dine with nine other ill-fated women— some loyal to the Nazis, and others secretly rebellious—risking their lives and, in the process, forming unbreakable bonds. Based on a true story, At the Wolf 's Table is a page-turning novel that explores important, thought-provoking themes of love, guilt, complicity, forgiveness, and survival.
