The Warsaw Orphan by Kelly Rimmer
4.0

Man. I literally just finished this book and I have so much to say but yet find myself speechless at the same time. For those of you who didn’t know this book is a spin off of Kelly Rimmers earlier book “The things we cannot say”. This story is Emilia’s journey after she is adopted by Truda.

The first thing I want to say is “WARNING” this book has some serious graphic triggers (violence especially against young children, rape, etc) so take that into consideration. This story is phenomenal and beautifully composed but it is no light read by any means. If anything this is the most honest portrayal of the horrors of the Holocaust I have yet to come across. So definitely only read this if you’re in a good head space. If you’re not, then save it for another day but 100% make sure you do pick it up.
