Review
In 1942, the Nazis come for a Jewish family living in the Montparnasse area of occupied Paris. In the chaos of their arrest, eleven-year-old Josephine runs to the only person she can trust: her piano teacher, Andrée Levallois, a secret French Resistance operative.
This is such a good, emotional tale. Of course it is! It is written by Heather Morris and it is set in Nazi occupied France. And that tension just keeps getting intense as this story moves along! But Josephine is truly a wonderful little girl. Her struggles and her attitude just captivate your heart.
As much as I enjoyed this tale, my favorite by this author is still Cilka’s Journey. So grab that one when you get this one! Trust me, you can not go wrong with either one!
The narrator, Saskia Maarleveld, is one of my favorites. And she did a great job. I am picky about a child’s voice in an audiobook. But Saskia did a great job with Josephine.
Need a story about love and survival…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
