Timely Read from Ellie Midwood

I don’t share the books I read here often, but I just finished Ellie Midwood’s latest historical fiction novel set in Berlin during the 1920’s.

The book is so very timely, with German government sentiment of that time, not unlike the attitudes of some of our western governments today. The book focussing on people like Ellie, who we need more of in our society if we are to avoid ending up like Nazi Germany in the 1940’s.

Ellie is a great writer, with a style I continue to enjoy. She pulls no punches in describing the debauchery of the darker side of Berlin in the 1920’s but I love the way this book highlights the necessity for some liberalism in all societies because without, we are one sided, controlled, stifled and rather artistically hamstrung.

You can start with book 1 Metropolis, but it isn’t really necessary. If you are looking for a little stroll through the artistic world of Berlin in the 20’s with an undertone of politics and a society being slowly sculptured to blindly allow their government to persecute the minorities, then you’ll enjoy this series.
