When I first heard about this book, I knew that it was a must-read for me. Having family heritage in Poland and Germany and a mother who experienced her youth in this exact environment, I knew it was a book I couldn't miss. I have been to Poland many times and of course Warsaw. I felt the author had really done some amazing research into this beautifully restored city. This book showed the suffering this war period caused and all that transpired. The two sisters were in different situations, as Antonina's story with Marek, a Jewish man, brought out some drama and tragic history. And Antonina helps shelter Jewish children. Both sisters are very involved in the political upheaval of their country. All the suffering was very similar to what my mother experienced. It really reminded me of the tragic times of war. I was absolutely captivated by this book. It was excellent and this coming from the daughter of someone who saw first hand. Good Job!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Publisher. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
