Experience the haunting yet enlightening narrative of A Village in the Third Reich: How Ordinary Lives Were Transformed By the Rise of Fascism, penned by the renowned author Julia Boyd. This gripping account reveals the profound transformation of Oberstdorf, a quiet Bavarian village, as it becomes a microcosm of life under Nazi rule.

In this compelling exploration, Boyd draws from an extensive array of personal archives, letters, and interviews to craft a comprehensive chronicle of a community grappling with the oppressive weight of fascism. Through the lives of various villagers—foresters, priests, Nazi officials, and schoolchildren—readers are invited to witness an array of human emotions and actions during a time of moral conflict.

Key themes explored in this book include:

  • Acts of Courage amidst adversity
  • Moments of Weakness in the face of moral dilemmas
  • Love and Hope that endure even in brutality
  • Heartbreaking Accounts of Jews fleeing the Holocaust
  • Conflicted Party Members and those who resisted

Critically acclaimed, this work has been described as 'fascinating' by the Daily Mail and 'utterly absorbing' by The Times. A Village in the Third Reich not only serves as a powerful lens to comprehend the implications of Nazism in German society but also stands as a poignant reminder of the resilience of humanity in the face of adversity. Immerse yourself in this remarkable journey of ordinary lives altered by extraordinary circumstances.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
