The Winter Orphans por Kristin Beck
What an emotional and exciting book! I was cheering for the characters of the story as if they could hear me. A beautiful, yet tragic story of the Jewish children in France.
in Courage, My Love, Kristin Beck tells the story of two women fighting the Nazis in Rome after the fall of Mussolini. The women come into the resistance from different families and perspectives and learn how to navigate the frightening dangerous world. I learned about a part of World War II history through Beck's well-written historical fiction.
I'm not sure how I would have felt if I had known ahead of time that some of these characters were real people, but I knew these types of people existed. Ones who were brave enough to risk death to help the Jewish people, in this case children, escape the clutches of the Nazis during World War II. Very moving book that might make a good movie or mini-series.
Rosli is working with the Swiss Red Cross to provide a home to Jewish refugees in France. When the war threatens the older children, she decides to find a way to smuggle them to safety in Switzerland. Ella, one of the Jewish refugees worries about her sister Hanni and how to protect her. Anne-Marie, a Swiss volunteer, partners with Rosli to help her find ways across the border.
This was a well written and engaging book. The author did an excellent job balancing the different points of view while progressing the story. I can't wait to read more from this author!… (más)
