Good young adult read geared for non-Jews and those not familiar with the horrors of the Holocaust. But the tone of the novel rang false.

And that Grainger, while clearly noting hitler was the hateful choreographer of the evil unleashed, the non-Jews of Europe were NOT complicit, they simply didn't understand or know better!

They required someone like Elizabeth to explain how Jews were innocent and undeserving of being beaten, rounded up, starved, and worked to death. Really? Outrageous!

Elizabeth, a woman from Northern Ireland but teaching in Liverpool, takes on two young Jewish children from the Kindertransport. After a bomb destroys her home, she returns to Ireland to have a safe home for all of them. As a teacher of Irish children and other Jewish refugees, she becomes acquainted with the adults and children in a farm camp of Jewish refugee children and their caregivers. There is a good bit of tension surrounding some suspicions of working with the Nazis that fall on several people in the book. I truly enjoyed meeting the characters in the book, and I look forward to reading the second in the four-book series. The writing is engaging, and I got a good feel for the small Irish village in WWII. (

I have read a lot of WWII books, but this is the first one I've read that took place in Ireland, Northern Ireland to be exact. I enjoyed the plot, characters, and setting of the book. Maybe some day I'll read the whole series. (
