In her luminous and groundbreaking debut, New York Times bestselling
author Pam Jenoff shows the unimaginable sacrifices one woman must make
in a time of war
Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau has been married only three weeks when Nazi
tanks thunder into Poland. Within days Emma's husband is forced to
disappear underground, leaving her alone in the Jewish ghetto. In the
dead of night, the resistance smuggles her out and brings her to Krakow,
where she takes on a new identity as Anna Lipowski, a gentile.
Emma's already precarious situation is complicated by her introduction
to Kommandant Richwalder, a high-ranking Nazi official who hires her to
work as his assistant. As the atrocities of war intensify, Emma must
make unthinkable choices that will force her to risk not only her double
life, but also the lives of those she loves.
