In her luminous and groundbreaking debut, New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff shows the unimaginable sacrifices one woman must make in a time of war Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau has been married only three weeks when Nazi tanks thunder into her native Poland. Within days Emma's husband, Jacob, is forced to disappear underground, leaving her imprisoned within the city's decrepit Jewish ghetto. But then, in the dead of night, the resistance smuggles her out. Taken to Krakow to live with Jacob's Catholic aunt, Krysia, Emma takes on a new identity as Anna Lipowski, a gentile. Emma's already precarious situation is complicated by her introduction to Kommandant Richwalder, a high-ranking Nazi official who hires her to work as his assistant. Urged by the resistance to use her position to access details of the Nazi occupation, Emma must compromise her safety and her marriage vows in order to help Jacob's cause. As the atrocities of war intensify, Emma must make choices that will force her to risk not only her double life, but also the lives of those she loves.

I guess I expected more from this book. It was an easy read, too easy I guess for a Holocaust story. It just had a feel of a Harlequinn novel (which is not always a bad thing) but at $13 I would expect more substance. I frequently found the main character very frustrating. She was too "jumpy" to be working undercover and she made incredibly bad choices and took risks that unnecessarily put herself and friends/family in jeopardy.

Kommandan't Girl
This is a book primarily for highschoolers. It is fairly trite in terms of the writing style, and my book group gave it a thumbs down at a recent review. The story is a bit preposterous, and some of the author's storyline is not smooth. It is not suggested for a serious reader of the Holocaust.

When is love not enough?
Fast paced, well written study of how people survive in the most dire of circumstances. The heroine of this novel has many choices to make which compromise her heritage and who she ultimately is and becomes. Most enjoyable
