ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Women in the Castle" by Jessica Shattuck is a historical novel set in post-World War II Germany that follows the intertwined lives of three women grappling with the aftermath of Nazi rule. Marianne, a staunch resister and widow of a conspirator, seeks to rebuild her life while upholding her moral convictions. Benita, a young woman longing for love and a fresh start, finds her hope shattered by a devastating revelation about her lover's past. Ania, haunted by her own wartime complicity, struggles to reconcile her past actions with her present values. As these women navigate the challenges of rebuilding their lives amidst the ruins of a horrific regime, they confront the complexities of guilt, forgiveness, and the enduring power of the past. The story delves into the themes of moral reckoning, the legacy of trauma, and the search for truth and redemption in a society grappling with the consequences of its history.
