The Pampered Librarian asked this question about
The Warsaw Orphan:
I am reading The Warsaw Orphan and The Things We Cannot Say at the same time, and the timeline really does not add up for me: How is Emilia 7 years old, when the bombings start in September of 1939 in The Things... and in The Warsaw Orphan set in 1942, Emilia/Elzbieta is 14??!
Dorothy Senner
That occurred to me, too, but the author may have been taking literary license--the author can make creative changes at will. Just go along with it!
