			        		A recovered academic, Justine has eleven novels under her literary belt, all based on a solid historical footing, and all setting lesbians in the historical landscape. After dallying with Ancient Egyptian theology and the Crusades, she moved to the Renaissance with Sistine Heresy. Sarah, Son of God took us through Stonewall-rioting New York, Venice under the Inquisition, and Nero&#x2019;s Rome. Then came Beloved Gomorrah, an LGBT version of Sodom and Gomorrah in a underwater setting, while the next, Dian&#x2019;s Ghost, honors the memory of Dian Fossey and her mountain gorillas. Saracen&#x2019;s most recent preoccupation has been World War II, to which she has devoted her last three thriller/romances. Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright follows the lives of four lovers during the Third Reich; Waiting for the Violins tells of missions by the French and Belgian R&#xE9;sistance; The Witch of Stalingrad is an homage to a real female Soviet pilot; and The Sniper&#x2019;s Kiss, based on actual female Soviet snipers, lets us see the war through Russian eyes. Berlin Hungers, forthcoming in Spring 2018, treats love between victor and defeated during the postwar Berlin Airlift. An adopted European, Saracen lives in Brussels where she has become very francofied, drinking wine, eating smelly cheese on baguettes, and enjoying the benefits of socialized medicine. Occasionally she travels to exotic locations like the United States, or to Egypt to scuba dive. She can be reached via her website, www.justinesaracen.net, on FB @justine.saracen, and on Twitter @JustSaracen.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing.
            
*by G***1 on May 21, 2018*

I waited for this book several weeks and was extremely well excited when it became available. Unfortunately it is simply too darn technical. Not much of a relationship and very little chemistry between the two. Too many unnecessary characters. Flying might be a nice hobby, job or command, and cheers to all the women who have fought so hard to make it happen. However, if I had wanted a technical manual I would have Googled one. A disappointing book from a wonderful writer. Well....Maybe next time.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
            
*by M***Y on April 29, 2018*

I thought this book was excellent. Set in Germany directly after WW11, it tells the love story of a woman in the British airforce in Berlin to rehabilitate the city, and a German woman trying to survive in the post war turmoil. It is a harrowing tale of rape and starvation in a country on its knees. The story moves slowly and relentlessly as we move from the  fall of Germany in 1945 when the Russians invade and then later the British and Americans arrive. It finishes in 1949 when the airlift with goods ended and Berlin was starting to rebuilt itself. It also relates the relationship between Russia and the Allies as both fight for part of Berlin. This is certainly not a fluffy romance. The would-be lovers have many trials and separations before they are finally united. Ms Saracen, as always, clearly has done a lot of research before writing the book.The book is peppered with historical facts and names.I thought the two women were very well portrayed and not glamourised. Ordinary people in hard times. The secondary characters were also well described : the English on the airfield and the German people scrounging every day for something to eat.I applaud the author for writing about how things were in those awful times and I can recommend  this novel as a very interesting read.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-researched historically accurate story
            
*by D***R on April 23, 2018*

Where do I start? Berlin hungers is a very interesting, well-researched historical novel about an interesting post-war situation when the victors started to go at each other. I'm from a country "libarated" by the Soviets, but where the stories of rape and brutality have been kept secret for a very long time. But I have read books and biographies and heard the stories of my grandparents who were in their twenties at that time.I think this book describes and explains this period perfectly. I also know how the idealism of communism/socialism has turned into the rule of the privileged and oppression of everything and everyone else. Something most former socialist countries still couldn't get over. Again, beautifully written and shown.The romance is not very prominent and relies too much on coincidences, but that's not the most important part of the story. If you don't expect it, you don't miss it.
