My Name Is Eva by Suzanne Goldring

4.0

---

Evelyn Taylor-Clarke, a ninety year old woman who lives in an assisted living facility and keeps some terrible secrets inside her brain. The story is a series of flashbacks and letters of Eva (Evelyn) sharing her experiences during World War II and the post-war chaos. She worked in intelligence and supporting displaced persons, but also vowed to find the person responsible for her husband's death. It was an interesting story and I really liked Evelyn. She was smart and sassy and had an interesting life when she was younger. Her niece is her only relative and I loathed her. She was selfish, rude, and annoying and had zero redeeming qualities. It was an interesting and quick read. Not the best book ever but not bad at all.
