The War Girls by V.S. Alexander

4.0

I devour all sorts of books with the war topic, especially WW2. While I expected this book to be hard hitting, emotional and raw, I did not expect to learn so much more about the war than I already knew. The side of the war from a Polish perspective is not one that is increasingly common and to see what the war was like for so many families, Jewish or not, opened my eyes. This is an important book as it highlights the atrocities committed, without downplaying any of it. History is brutal and yet the need for the world to know exactly how some suffered is paramount to their legacy. It even addresses this need, for people to know exactly how some people lived and died, in the story. A sometimes-hard read but if you have an interest in persuing knowledge about history from a different angle then I would definitely recommend.

I received a temporary copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Netgalley and the author.
