Izabela immediately fell in love with Bill when she saw him in a group of British prisoners who came to help on the farm during WWII.
Her plans were to marry Bill, find her father and brother, and join the resistance, but the Germans had other plans for them.
We follow Izzy and Bill as they escape the farm, travel in the night, sleep in the day, become captured, and endure the prison camp.
They were sent to Lamsdorf Prison where Izzy had to hide that she was a woman. Surprisingly the men in their hut actually helped to hide her.
THE PRISONER'S WIFE which is based on true events was very tense, very well written, and very well researched.
You will feel the terror and pain the prisoners endured in the camps and on the historical Long Walk from Poland to Germany.
The characters were resilient, loyal, unbelievably strong, and easy to like.
Historical fiction fans will be completely absorbed in this book that gives yet another look at what suffering went on during WWII.
THE PRISONER'S WIFE is a beautiful but heartbreaking book.
A MUST READ!! 5/5

I like it when you can take what is seemingly well known (WWII) and still find a new angle to tell a story.
ReplyDeleteYes....it was well done.
DeleteThanks for your comment, Marg.
Looking forward to reading! Btw, both of my brothers fought in World War II, one in the Navy, on a ship protecting the coastal waters of France, and one a Marine, who fought on Okinawa and Iwo Jimi! He was a Corporal and a rifle Sharpshooter in the Pacific area!
