The Book of Lost Names
What an emotional rollercoaster. This novel weaves a gripping narrative that blends the complexities of World War II espionage with the intimate journey of its protagonist, Eva. I enjoyed reading from Eva's perspective and her role in creating false documents in the war. However, I can only give this four stars because I wasn't convinced that Eva's mother would have changed. Plus, even though I was happy with the ending, I was in disbelief that it would have ended the way it did. (I am trying not to give away spoilers. HA!)
What I loved:
Eva's skills and resilience
Eva + Remy
The historical landscape
I will say that I read this book closely after reading 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah, so I think I had expectations after that. If you are a historical fiction lover, read this before you read 'The Nightingale.' I am forever ruined after that book.
This one left an impression on me like all historical fiction does, and I would suggest it to anyone looking for another perspective/role in WWII history.
