The Secret History of Audrey James by Heather Marshall
4.0
Audrey is an English girl living with a Jewish family as Hitler takes over. After the unimaginable, the girls must learn to live on their own safely. When a Nazi officer moves into the girls' home, it sets the girls on a life course they never imagined. Meanwhile, in the present, Audrey hires kate to help at her inn. As Audrey tells her story, she realizes Kate is more than she thought she was.
I haven't read a WWII historical fiction in a while, but this one was very good. Heather Marshall writes a story that is full of emotion and tells a very complex story. There were several times throughout the book where I felt the Nazi behavior was vividly shown, but not to the point that it was gratuitous. I loved Audrey as a character in both timelines. She was a fantastic character based on a true resistor.
