How can a story be so sad but have a happy ending? Kelly Rimmer’s books always have me in tears I shouldn’t be surprised.

The Warsaw Orphan is a tale of the Holocaust focusing on the Warsaw Ghetto and the Polish uprising against German occupation focusing on Roman, a teenage boy of Jewish and Christian ancestry who is a resident of the ghetto, and Elzbieta, a Christian girl who lives with her adoptive parents and uncle in Warsaw. Elzbieta teaches Polish to young children in the ghetto so they can be rescued and resettled with Polish families, and this is how she and Roman meet.
This is obviously not an easy read but still very interesting. It maybe didn't pull on the heartstrings for me as much as some of Kelly Rimmer's other books, but it was still very good.

Until some things seemed a little too familiar, I didn't realize that this book had some slight overlap of characters from "The Things We Cannot Say." It would have been nice to have that noted in the beginning. Also, I probably would have given this well-written, well-researched excellent book a 5, except the last chapters didn't keep the same pace as the others--they just seemed to drag while attempting to teach a somewhat simplistic moral lesson. I probably just need to step away from these WWII books for a time because they've all begun to morph into one another for me.
