The Book of Lost Names

Author: Kristin Harmel

I recently enjoyed another book by this author so thought I would try another one. It was an easy read but followed a very familiar pattern. I think for now I’m done with this particular genre. It only took a short time for me to realize where the title came from and I knew both of the surprises long before we got there.

Eva is a young Jewish woman living in occupied Paris during the Second World War. She and her mother narrowly escape a Nazi roundup but with the forged papers Eva manages to put together they escape with the hope of making it to Switzerland. Her skills are put to use forging documents for the many refugees who are desperate to flee France.
