The Girl from the Train by Irma Joubert

4.0

The first half of this book, which took place in wartime Poland, was excellent and riveting. I would recommend it based on the first half and tell friends to skim the second half. The second half was a tedious and predictable love story. I also had a definite problem in the second half with the “wonderful” South African adoptive family who wouldn’t have adopted Gretl if they’d known she didn’t have “pure” Aryan blood.
