This novel is a love story depicting families in Poland before and after the takeover by the Nazis. To describe this novel as heartbreaking is only partially accurate. It is written in a manner that the reader feels he or she is there and is experiencing exactly what is happening. My only criticism is that this is the first installment in a series and, as an aging senior, I must wait to see the outcome. Ms. Kagan writes stories that undoubtedly actually happened and I wholeheartedly recommend this novel to all readers and thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

Another amazing story by Roberta Kagan! I hope there will be more about this family to come and a happy reunion.
