charlottelynn 's review for:
The Goddess of Warsaw
by Lisa Barr
World War II is my most favorite era to read about. Lisa Barr brought me right into the world that Lena Browning had lived in. It was horrific to see what she had to live through but it is a time that should not be forgotten. The details of the ghetto, of the Nazi’s treatment of Jews, of the things that had to be done just to stay alive are what brought this book to life.
Lena Browning (she has many names throughout this book as her life requires it to stay alive) has become a movie star but it is her past that still haunts her. I love that she is willing to share her story as it is an important part of WWII history but also her history. There is an entire part of her life that no one knows and it is not anything that anyone would ever have guessed about her. She knew that telling her story would bring back the horrors of her past but she also knew that it could be healing for her. I was entirely lost in her life, living it right next to her, and feeling her pains and triumphs.
The Goddess of Warsaw is a must-read list for any WWII historical fiction reader. I cannot wait to discuss it with my fellow readers.
