pick

What follows is a tale of Sarah‘s journey, the huge amount of people willing to help her get to safety, with danger at every turn….a constant fear..will Sarah survive? Will she finally see the danger she is in?

Set during WWII this is a coming of age drama set amidst the horror of Hitler‘s Germany, the persecution of Jewish people and the many many lives saved by the resistance. Historical fiction at its best….

The Violin Maker's Daughter: Absolutely heartbreaking World War 2 historical fiction | Sharon Maas

so-so

Enjoyed the unique story of a non-practicing Jewish girl and her discovery of hate/love, safety/security, and trust/betrayal during WWII. Young Sarah Mayer must leave her family when Nazi's occupy Comar, France where the young protagonist is working as an apprentice for her father, a violin maker. The plot was really interesting and well researched, but the story and writing felt rushed and unpolished. I felt Maas often over-explained.
