The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff

Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau takes on a new identity after her husband, Jacob, is forced to disappear to escape Nazi forces, leaving Emma behind to face the atrocities of war and deny her growing attraction to another man.

This is an amazing book! It's one that I stayed up late to finish. The choices that Emma/Anna had to make were difficult and heart-breaking. This is a love story, a war story, and a story about how we live when we have to make choices that make us uncomfortable. It also puts a different face on a German leader as he struggles to deal with the choices he must make.

Rating: 9 of 10.
