Description
"Watching on the Rhine" is a classic book written by Violet R. Markham. Set in Germany during the tumultuous years leading up to World War II, the story follows the lives of a wealthy British family, the Saxons, who decide to spend a summer in their German estate on the Rhine River.

The book beautifully captures the atmosphere of pre-war Germany, exploring themes of nationalism, fascism, and the moral dilemma faced by the Saxons as they witness the growing power of the Nazis. Through a series of vividly portrayed characters, the author brings to life the complexity of human emotions and the consequences of political ideologies on personal lives.
