Book Summary

Natia has a secret, and she’s hiding him right beneath her captor’s nose... The Nazis have forced Natia and Teodor from their Polish farm to a labor camp. When the couple is separated, Natia is chosen to be the housekeeper for the camp’s overseer, and Teodor is sent to work in the factory. Despite the strict camp rules—and the consequences for disobeying them—Natia finds a way to communicate with Teodor by sending messages through song as she passes Teodor’s dormitory. The stakes get higher when Natia finds a Jewish orphan on the overseer’s doorstep. She is determined to protect the boy and raise him as the child she and her husband were unable to bear— but if her German captors discover how much she’s hiding, both she and Teodor may pay the ultimate price.

My Review

Wow, I've never read this author before and this is such a powerful book.

While I didn't read the first one this did read as a complete story on it's own.

I've read a lot of WWII books and this one really stands out from the others.

Liz has written with such heart and soul.

Achingly historically accurate I felt as though I was transported in a time

machine back in time and experienced these things myself.

The singing is such an important part of the book.

It is what keeps the couple connected and knowing the other one is safe.

From the fear of the people, to hearing the slaps received

and feeling the devastation of the mother's

experiencing infertility the author accurately portrays it.

This is so good it should be made into a movie.

I absolutely need to read the first book in this series

because this is as real as it gets!

Pub Date 09 Oct 2018 I received a complimentary copy of this book from

Gilead Publishing through NetGalley.

Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
