An international bestseller by Italian writer Rosella Postorino, winner of Italy's most prestigious literary awards: Stre ga, Campiello and Un autore l'Europa. The novel is based on a true story - an interview given in 2012 by 95-year-old Margot Wölk, the only survivor of the war out of fifteen girls who in Hitler's Wolfschanze ("Wolf's Lair") tasted food intended for the Fuhrer: he was pathologically afraid that he might be poisoned. For Berlin-born Rosa Sauer (under this name Margot Wölk is introduced in the novel), who found herself in East Prussia by chance, this service provided an opportunity to eat enough for the first time during the war, but the price of each meal could be death. Like Bernhard Schlink's The Reader, Hitler's Tasters is less about the horrors of war than about fear and choice. About whether one can stay above the fray while serving the embodiment of the world's evil. What can and what can not be done to keep the hope of future life, the return of her husband from the front...?
