Welcome to Litsy!

I couldn‘t sleep last night so I pulled out my kindle and read this short novella. It was a perfect choice as it is a gentle and touching story of a Jewish child who is hidden in Belgium during World War II. Despite its subject matter, it was neither saccharine nor overly sentimental, nor filled with horror. Instead it is a book about hope and sacrifice and the goodness of many everyday people. It was a perfect read for the current climate.

This is one of my favorite series. I love revisiting this family from time to time. This book was full of adventure and danger (just like always). At this point, time is truly irrelevant as they have changed the course of time. They live in an alternate timeline. I love how they can effect change in their world and bring things from the present back with them despite the dangers that they face. I rated it 5 stars. (from January)

We always want out heroes to be saints. Tuvia Bielski was the right man at the right time in the right place with the right supporters. This was an inspiring accomplishment even with the brutality and misogyny.

It‘s not unexpected for a book set in #Paris during WW2 to have a #sadending but to say more would be a spoiler. #aboutabook
