"Inspired by an astonishing true story from World War II, a young woman with a talent for forgery helps hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis in this unforgettable historical novel from the international bestselling author of the “epic and heart-wrenching World War II tale” (Alyson Noel, #1 New York Times bestselling author) The Winemaker’s Wife."
“anyone who saw the magic in books had to be good.”
This was so neatly packed with love, hope, and remembrance of The Book Of Lost Names involving a code that only Eva can decipher and bring to rest.
The photo was located in an article lying nearby when she was shelving books and it created a moment of raw emotion and paralyzing fear.
"The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II—an experience Eva remembers well—and the search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. The book in the photograph, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war, is one of the most fascinating cases. Now housed in Berlin’s Zentral- und Landesbibliothek library, it appears to contain some sort of code, but researchers don’t know where it came from—or what the code means. Only Eva holds the answer—but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?"
A wonderful and heartfelt new novel that was a pure joy to read.
Thank you to Bibliotheca for his copy in exchange for this honest review.
