My Review
When I saw a new book by Pam Jenoff, I knew it would be good, and she did not disappoint, even with this tough subject.
I knew about the ship and still shudder to think of how these countries treated these desperate people. Politics!
This story is mainly about their lives after the ship returns to Europe, or mainly Hannah Martel, and then her cousin Lily. Lily opens her home to Hannah, an act that changes her life, although with the way things were in Brussels at this time?
There is a bit of romance, but mainly this read highlight the atrocities that went on during this time! There are some big surprises, and I loved the author's notes we are gifted to at the end of this book!
We are given some very strong women and some who give everything to help others, and through this book, we need to never forget!
I received this book through the Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin Trade, and was not required to give a positive review.
