"Narrator Polly Stone gives us a believable depiction of Rosa Sauer...The story is compelling, and the performance memorable." ?? AudioFile Magazine

At the Wolf's Table is a moving audiobook based on the untold true story of the women conscripted to be Hitler's food tasters, from internationally bestselling author Rosella Postorino.

"They called it the Wolfsschanze, the Wolf's Lair. 'Wolf' was his nickname. As hapless as Little Red Riding Hood, I had ended up in his belly. A legion of hunters was out looking for him, and to get him in their grips they would gladly slay me as well."

Germany, 1943: Twenty-six-year-old Rosa Sauer's parents are gone, and her husband Gregor is far away, fighting on the front lines of WWII. Impoverished and alone, she makes the fateful decision to leave war-torn Berlin to live with her in-laws in the countryside, thinking she'll find refuge there. But one morning, the SS come to tell her she has been conscripted to be one of Hitler's tasters: three times a day, she and nine other women go to his secret headquarters, the Wolf's Lair, to eat his meals before he does. Forced to eat what might kill them, the tasters begin to divide into The Fanatics, those loyal to Hitler, and the women like Rosa who insist they aren't Nazis, even as they risk their lives every day for Hitler's.

As secrets and resentments grow, this unlikely sisterhood reaches its own dramatic climax. What's more, one of Rosa's SS guards has become dangerously familiar, and the war is worsening outside. As the months pass, it becomes increasingly clear that Rosa and everyone she knows are on the wrong side of history.… (más)

L'orrore della seconda guerra mondiale raccontata da un punto di vista insolito, non una vittima, non un soldato, ma una donna; un'assaggiatrice di Hitler.
Rosa Sauer proviene da Berlino, ma suo marito è partito in guerra e lei ha raggiunto i suoceri in campagna, quella campagna dove all'interno di un Bunker nel profondo del bosco si nasconde il dittatore tedesco, che non ama mangiare gli animali morti perché non sopporta la crudeltà su di essi, che però fa assaggiare i suoi pasti a 12 donne.
Il romanzo è esattamente come ci si aspetta che sia, il racconto di una donna senza il marito perché disperso in guerra, che viene obbligata a collaborare con un regime dietro compenso, del sentirsi complice, dei segreti da nascondere, di un gruppo di donne che si ritrovano a vivere lo stesso destino. Non è una lettura leggera, ma appassiona. ( )

266/48-Τύπου Άρλεκιν , δε με συγκίνησε τουλάχιστον συγγραφικά. Σου προξενεί τη περιέργεια να γλουγκλάρεις το όνομα της και να μάθεις περισσότερα. Απρόσμενο τέλος, υποθέτεις πως θα ξανασυναντηθεί με τον άντρα της ή στη πιο απίθανη περίπτωση με τη σχέση. Προκαλεί έκπληξη ότι έσωσε τον άντρα της και μετά τον χώριζει. Ίσως αποτελεί νόμο το "αν ραγίσει το γυαλί, δεν ξανακολλάει" . Λυπάσαι και γι όλους αυτούς που έτυχε να γεννηθούν Γερμανοί αλλά δεν ήταν ναζιστές. Έζησαν μια ζωή μέσα στο φόβο ( )

I received this book from BookBrowse. My first thoughts were, what could you write about a taste tester for Hitler? This was a very compassionate story about Germany women and the perils they faced. The book is very depressing. These women could never catch a break. They got to eat well but their children at home were starving and the husbands were at the front. These 9 women were always at the threat of the guards and each other. This is another window to war and the suffering of people. ( )

Rosa Sauer knows that she is lucky to have a consistent supply of quality, nourishing food when so many are going hungry. But she eats with the knowledge that each plate may be the last thing she ever consumes. It's not as if she has a choice in the matter. The SS guards come to fetch her each morning and notate every morsel that goes into her mouth. They watch her carefully and then drive her home. If Rosa lives then the Fuhrer can eat.

I had never heard about Hitler's food tasters before and they did exist although this tale is just an imagining. It makes an interesting framing device within which to examine Rosa's relationships with the other food tasters, the guards, and her in-laws, who she lives with. ( )

Ho iniziato questo libro con entusiasmo, intrigata da una premessa originale e poi trascinata da uno stile scorrevole ed avvincente. Andando avanti però lo slancio si è affievolito, tanto che arrivata a fine lettura ho dovuto riconoscere con una punta di delusione che è un romanzo che non mi ha lasciato niente, appartenente a pieno titolo alla categoria "carini ma dimenticabili"; apprezzo la letteratura di intrattenimento, ma con un tema del genere si poteva (e forse si doveva) fare molto di più. Lo spunto iniziale è interessante: il nazismo raccontato non dal punto di vista dei carnefici o delle vittime, ma di un gruppo di giovani donne che vuole solo sopravvivere e che per questo ogni giorno dovrà scendere a patti con la propria coscienza. Vengono fuori interrogativi importanti sul ruolo giocato dal popolo tedesco nell'ascesa del nazismo e più in generale sul concetto di colpa collettiva e individuale, ma sono interrogativi che l'autrice si limita ad accennare senza mai approfondirli davvero, preferendo spostare il focus su una banalissima storia d'amore proibita. Man mano che si va avanti il lato sentimentale diventa sempre più preponderante, fino ad arrivare ad un finale non dico brutto, ma quantomeno superfluo.
Peccato, perchè la Postorino scrive bene (nonostante qualche scivolone nel melenso) e la sua prosa cattura da subito l'attenzione del lettore grazie ad un ritmo sempre sostenuto.
Insomma poteva uscir fuori un un libro diverso dai soliti, ma l'autrice ha preferito "vincere facile" confezionando un prodotto innocuo e adatto a tutti i palati. Non la biasimo anche perchè è riuscita perfettamente nel suo intento, ma è un'occasione mancata. ( )

At the Wolf's Table is a moving audiobook based on the untold true story of the women conscripted to be Hitler's food tasters, from internationally bestselling author Rosella Postorino.

"They called it the Wolfsschanze, the Wolf's Lair. 'Wolf' was his nickname. As hapless as Little Red Riding Hood, I had ended up in his belly. A legion of hunters was out looking for him, and to get him in their grips they would gladly slay me as well."

Germany, 1943: Twenty-six-year-old Rosa Sauer's parents are gone, and her husband Gregor is far away, fighting on the front lines of WWII. Impoverished and alone, she makes the fateful decision to leave war-torn Berlin to live with her in-laws in the countryside, thinking she'll find refuge there. But one morning, the SS come to tell her she has been conscripted to be one of Hitler's tasters: three times a day, she and nine other women go to his secret headquarters, the Wolf's Lair, to eat his meals before he does. Forced to eat what might kill them, the tasters begin to divide into The Fanatics, those loyal to Hitler, and the women like Rosa who insist they aren't Nazis, even as they risk their lives every day for Hitler's.

As secrets and resentments grow, this unlikely sisterhood reaches its own dramatic climax. What's more, one of Rosa's SS guards has become dangerously familiar, and the war is worsening outside. As the months pass, it becomes increasingly clear that Rosa and everyone she knows are on the wrong side of history.
