This book falls within the category of autobiographical accounts, as it chronicles the author's experiences alongside fellow travelers as they navigate the rapidly escalating tensions in Europe. The topic of the book revolves around their efforts to escape the looming threat of war that overtakes Germany and their subsequent experiences during a tumultuous escape. The narrative details the adventures of Evans and her companions, Lyra Nickerson and Katherine Schermerhorn, as they arrive in Berlin just as rumors of war begin to materialize into reality. From their arrival at the luxurious Hotel Adlon to their frantic attempts to secure passage out of Germany, Evans captures the growing unease of the situation, including their encounters with officials and soldiers who mistake them for potential enemies. Through a series of near-arrests and examinations, they navigate difficult landscapes marked by confusion and hostility. Ultimately, after much perseverance and a ride through hostile territory, they find a way to cross into neutral Holland, marking a narrow escape from the chaos of war. The author’s witty observations and keen sense of the absurd provide a compelling view of a time of uncertainty and danger, wrapped in the lens of personal experience.
