The Guardian reviews All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days. “Donner’s American great-great-aunt, Mildred Harnack, moved to Germany in the late 1920s. Appalled by the rise of nazism, Mildred and her German husband embarked on a decade-long resistance campaign until their arrest and execution in 1943. With documentary evidence thin on the ground – Harnack destroyed her diaries – Donner questions what motivates someone to risk their life for the sake of their beliefs in a gripping story that reads like a political thriller.”
