Welcome to Litsy!

Seen thru Sophie's eyes in 1938-43 Vienna & London & Lacey's in 2021/22 Philadelphia & London we learn about a family's experiences of WWII. I learned some horrible things I never knew about Nazi occupied Vienna & some interesting things I didn't know about Windsor Castle & the efforts by the king & Winston Churchill to keep the former Edward VIII & Wallis Simpson from inviting Hitler into Britain. The end felt rushed but otherwise this was good.

A day off means more time to read 😊

An Austrian family with Jewish roots is torn apart by the war when both parents lose their lives to the nazis and sisters, Sophie and Hannah are separated. Younger sister Hannah escapes with an American couple who are rescuing children &returning to the states to place them in new homes. Older sister Sophie goes into service as a Royal librarian at Windsor Castle. Dual timelines between the war and the present find us meeting (cont in comments)..

Will Lacey be able to find out the history of her grandmother Sophie‘s life?

We meet Sophie, Hanna, and their parents in 1938 as Hitler takes control of Austria.

We follow both sisters during the war and Lacey in 2021 as she tries to find out about her grandmother.

A lovely, enjoyable, heartfelt, well-researched read with a mystery to solve about Sophie and some surprises. 5/5
