The Warsaw Orphan

 “The Warsaw Orphan” by Kelly Rimmer

Published by Graydon House

Finished 3/21/23 – 5/5 stars

 

This book grabbed me with the opening lines – “The human spirit is a miraculous thing.  It is the strongest part of us – crushed under pressure, but rarely broken.  Trapped within our weak and fallible bodies, but never contained.”  That statement couldn’t be more true for the two main characters of this story.  Afterall, they are living in Poland during World War II, one within the confines of the Warsaw Ghetto and one with a new identity using false papers right outside it.  Neither willing to just let Poland itself or those that call Poland home die.  It is truly both heart wrenching and heart warming all at the same time.  I absolutely loved it. 

 

Side note – I found out via the authors notes at the back that one of the main characters in this book was a character in her other book – “The Things We Cannot Say” (which has been on my TBR for awhile).  “The Warsaw Orphan” is not a sequel, just a branched off storyline continuation.  Guess I’ll be reading them out of order but it shouldn’t matter.
