In this story, Eva is a likable character as well as independent, feisty, clever, smart, and brave. All opinions in this review are completely my own.Įngaging: One aspect I appreciate about Kristin Harmel’s storytelling is that she engages me from the first page, and I never experience a lull as I am compelled to turn the pages.

Thanks, #netgalley #gallerybooks for a complimentary e-ARC of #thebookoflostnames upon my request. The Book of Lost Names becomes an important link between the two timelines.

The story is told in dual timelines from the present-day perspective of Eva who is a semi-retired librarian living in Florida and the young Eva as she flees Paris and joins an underground forgery operation in a small mountain town near the Switzerland border. Inspired by true stories from WW11, a young Jewish woman who flees Paris with her mother after the arrest of her father finds herself committing to a forgery ring whose primary goal is to create documents that will help hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis. *This post contains Amazon affiliate links.
