Description
In 1943, Magda Ritter's life takes a perilous turn when her parents send her to Bavaria in an attempt to keep her safe from the war. Assigned to Hitler's mountain retreat, the Berghof, Magda is tasked with tasting the Führer's food as part of a sinister plot to keep him alive. As she navigates the treacherous world of the Berghof, Magda must confront the harsh realities of war and the moral dilemmas that come with it. Her growing awareness of the Reich's atrocities and her forbidden love for an SS conspirator threaten to upend everything she thought she knew about loyalty, duty, and survival. V.S. Alexander's The Taster is a vivid and ambitious portrayal of life under Hitler's dictatorship, filled with acts of extraordinary courage and a harrowing exploration of the human cost of war.
