First of a series. Can't wait to see what happens to the children as they grow older. ]]>
WWII story of 2 young people. Ilse, 11 sent to Morocco/France by her mother for safety who then sends her Father to be w/her. Her Father, is Jewish, her mother in not. Father has been in prision much of Ilsa's young life as he is a revolutionary, thus a difficult relationship between them. The other story is of the young boy (14) who is in the household of the family Ilsa mother works for as a nanny. Ilsa's mother if waiting for the return of Ilsa, all but impossible as the war rags; the young boy is not a supporter of the Nazi's; his mother however is a social butterfly, entertaing officers while father is away. Insightfull from the perspective of Ilsa having bogus papers, working in the underground in France as a young woman and Nicoli befriending her mother and their perspectives of daily life during the war. ]]>

Another WWII saga based on the Danish Underground, German radar and getting the information to Britain. Based on fact and I must say, I thought I had read enough WWII but this too was interesting, trying to figure out what the true parts might have been ]]>

Historical fiction of the 1700's, showing the life for women in that period. Plus, learn about the life of Vivaldi; very enjoyable. ]]>
