The premise was so intriguing, but I lost interest about 3/4 of the way through. The storytelling was dreamlike, episodic, but flat. I could not get a sense of the main character; she was just passive and completely opaque to me. I finally said, "Why am I still reading this?", so I stopped because I just didn't care. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Eva and Abraham soon depart for Santa Fe, New Mexico where Abraham is part owner of the Shein Brothers Store. Eva finds life to be much more difficult than the pampered life she led in Germany. But that is not the only problem she faces. Abraham is not the upright and faithful husband that she envisioned and she eventually experiences the unfortunate consequences of his actions.
The German Bride is a book about regret, guilt, love, broken promises, and the strength of the human spirit. The setting of Santa Fe, New Mexico populated with German immigrants in the 1800’s makes for an unusual historical tale. And throughout the book it is difficult to like Abraham and Eva who were such miserable characters until Eva redeems herself in the concluding chapters.
