My Review
I have loved every book I've read by this author and this
one did not disappoint. I've read many world war 2 books but this one really captivated me as I read it. This one takes place in Hungary and I've never read a world war 2 book taking place there so it was fascinating to learn some history through this book.
Such a dark time in history the Jews were treated so unfairly. A fast paced read that was hard to put down the action and suspense were nonstop as decisions had to be made quickly that would affect
the family if the wrong choices were made.
Heart wrenching in spots this is an emotional book that I highly recommend! Published September 29th 2020 by Gilead Publishing I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.

GoodReads Summary
To save a life, would you betray everyone you love? Hungary in 1944 is a dark place. The Nazis have invaded and turned the country upside down, their evil making its way into every life. Clarinetist Eva Bognar is engaged to conductor and composer Patrik Kedves, happily planning her wedding. At first she doesn't think the war will affect her directly; everyone around her can be trusted to do the right thing. Then her Jewish best friend and sister-in-law Zofia goes missing--and instead of the Gestapo being to blame, a friend says it was Patrik who led Zofia away. Has he betrayed Eva and everything the family stands for? When the rest of the family's lives are directly threatened, Patrik's secrets must come to light. The Bognars flee for the border in hopes of getting out of the country to the safety of Palestine. Eva must put her life and the lives of everyone she loves in the hands of the very man who betrayed her--and they may not all make it out of the war alive . . .
