My review...
Books set in the WWII era are some of my favorite books to
read. Tolsma’s latest has a slightly different perspective: Polish Jews and
Christians, Polish labor camps, and the way the Polish people suffered under
German occupation.
The love between Teodor and Natia is pure and heartwarming.
I also really enjoyed the unlikely bond between Natia and Elfriede. The story
demonstrates that even in the worst of circumstances, God is always present.
It was very difficult for me to put this book aside, as I
couldn’t wait to find out how it ended. I can’t wait to read the next book in
the series (fingers crossed that there will be one!).
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley,
but I wasn’t required to leave a positive review.
About Liz...
Passionate might best describe Liz Tolsma. She loves writing, research, and editing. Her passion shown through in her first novel which was a double award finalist. On any given day, you might find her pulling weeds in her perennial garden, walking her hyperactive dog, or curled up with a good book. Nothing means More to her than her family. She married her high-school sweetheart twenty-eight years ago. Get her talking about international adoption, and you might never get her to stop. She and her husband adopted three children, including a son who is a U.S. Marine, and two daughters.
How wonderful you've adopted and internationally at that. I haven't adopted but am grateful to those who have.
