My first Kristin Harmel novel and I'm eager to read more!

It was so interesting to read about occupied France during World War II and the experience of French Jews. I was captivated by the story and the events of this novel. Eva is a strong heroine and her bravery and work to make sure that the children who were saved were remembered is commendable. I know that this is based on true events and I appreciate knowing that there were women like this who persevered during World War II.

At moments this book both broke my heart and made me smile and cheer with glee. And as a librarian, I love reading about other librarians and books in novels.

Such a wonderful historical story of strong women and men who were brave and selfless during a time when the odds were never in their favour.
