Berlin 1932: teenage Sophie soon discovers what the rise of Fascism will mean to her disabled brother and to her Jewish lover. If you liked The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, you will love this huge, realistic, blackly humorous novel, not least for its rebellious heroine and her outsider friends. And the really good news is that this book is one of a series, so you can continue the Zarco chronicles as soon as you finish reading.
