Living in Poland during World War II, Maria, who is estranged from her family, is living with her in-laws while her husband is away fighting. One day she finds a young Jewish girl hiding in the barn trying to escape the German police, so Maria decides to help this young girl at the risk of her own life. This was a really short story, quick to read, but still good. Kinda left me wanting more though. ( ) A novella of 21 pages that has an excellent story set in occupied Nazi's territory during in World War II. Maria marries to get away from her father who is turning in Jews to the Nazi's. Maria helps a Jewish girl hide from the Nazi's and escape. The story tells of the pressure and the arrest of people who help the Jews. I enjoyed this book very much and surprised when it ended so quickly. The Other Girl is the prequel novella that goes with the Winter Guest. This book ties in directly to the Winter Guest. This book focuses on a character that we briefly meet in that book. It was great to go back to these characters and get a better feel for some of the things that happened in the Winter Guest. This is certainly worth picking up if you have enjoyed the author's previous work, especially the Winter Guest. (Plus I got this free on Kindle.) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

One woman's determination to protect a child from the dangers of war will force her to face those lurking closer to home... Life in rural Poland during WWII brings a new set of challenges to Maria, estranged from her own family and left alone with her in-laws after her husband is sent to the front. For a young, newly pregnant wife, the days are especially cold, the nights unexpectedly lonely. The discovery of a girl hiding in the barn changes everything-Hannah is fleeing the German police who are taking Jews like her to special camps. Ignoring the risk to her own life and that of her unborn child, Maria is compelled to help. But in these dark days, no one can be trusted, and soon Maria finds her courage tested in ways she never expected and herself facing truths about her own family that the quiet village has kept buried for years...
