Though this tour de force of historical fiction opens in 1997, Dolan quickly whisks you back to a time befitting the genre. Her health failing, the aged if still feisty Dutchwoman Berber Smit recalls the sizzling love affair she had in Budapest half a century earlier with the greatest hero of the Holocaust, the Swedish diplomat to the capital Raoul Wallenberg.
Nor does she end her story there. Having joined him in not only bed but, to her growing peril, in his mission to wrest Hungary's last surviving Jews from the clutches of a blood-crazed Adolf Eichmann, Berber gives an insider's account of what made Raoul the legend he is today.
The first in-depth work of fiction yet, not to mention the most entertaining, about the man who out-Schindlered Schindler in both the number of lives saved and the price he paid for it.
"Bold, erotic, dripping with emotion, the adventure novel Mrs. Wallenberg delivers a heady blend of history most people have never heard of, sex they might not have thought of. A true-life tale of unparalleled courage laced with uncensored desire." --- New In Books
