The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman

2.0

---

I did not finish this book. The addition of excessive historical facts negatively impacted the flow of the story. I think this will be a better movie than book. It is rare for me to quit reading a book, but by the 50% mark, I was still not enjoying the book. The history itself was very interesting, but this author couldn't figure out how to put it together well with the story.
