The Warsaw Orphan
by Kelly Rimmer
“…and as soon as you convince someone that a group of people is not human, they will allow you to treat them as badly as you wish.” This line from the author, Kelly Rimmer, stopped me dead in my tracks and I immediately went to write it down. It not only carries through the whole book, but also in our lives.
The author does a phenomenal job at pulling you in from the very first page and I felt invested in these characters very quickly. This book is what I would call a page turner because I struggled to put it down, even for a few minutes. The words on the pages jumped out and I could “see” the details vividly from the descriptions. The author’s time and research to describe the city of Warsaw during this era was not missed.
Dual timelines is a popular trend in historical fiction about WWII, but there were times where I felt the story got too drawn out when jumping between the two main characters POVs. At times they’d overlap the same event when it didn’t feel necessary.
I have not read the authors story, The Things We Can Not Say, but I will be adding it to my TBR list.
