The Girl From The TrainVerdict: carrot

Rich with history and humanity, The Girl From The Train will replace dates and facts with faces and heartbeats to make the events come alive in your spirit. I learned much I did not know about Poland in the years during and after WW2, as well as about South Africa and the German orphan initiative there. But woven vividly through all the information were the people – the reason I could not put down the book, the reason my heart became so involved in the reading and in the outcome. If you were captivated by The Book Thief, you don’t want to miss The Girl From the Train! If The Book Thief wasn’t really your thing, you are not alone – it wasn’t my favorite either. The Girl From The Train is everything I wanted The Book Thief to be, and I think you’ll enjoy it too.
