I have read books #3 and #4 in this series, and both #3 and #5, The Girl from Berlin, deal with the time of World War Two, although from different perspectives. The author does a good job of telling the story of the characters from the past. I mentioned in a review for Karolina's Twins that the relationship between Liam and Catherine, the husband-wife couple, was stiff. It got better in this book, happy to say.

Although it is a World War Two novel, little is mentioned of the Holocaust. It presents the lives of the Jewish people in Germany during that time, the fine side of their world, with culture and music. I knew little about this, and it was fun to see this aspect presented. I can't say that there were any characters I didn't like. The novel kept me engaged to the very end, I liked how the story within a story was presented, and thankfully it didn't feel like there was any hardly possible turn of events. A good read!

I received a free ebook copy of the book from the publisher via Net Galley. All thoughts expressed here are my own.
