We meet twin sisters, Aleida and Ingrid, during the war.
Aleida dances at a local studio owned by a Jewish woman.
When the Germans invaded the Netherlands, Ingrid and her boyfriend decide to escape but Aleida remains.
Neither girl told their mother about the escape because she was a Nazi supporter and was the lover of a German officer.
Aleida never knew if her sister escaped or was caught, but one day after the war, Ingrid knocked on her door in California. They couldn’t believe they were together again.
The reason Ingrid is there is because she was assigned to find out if Aleida is a Communist, but Aleida has something else bothering her.
She stole files from the Nazi her mother was living with that will incriminate him for his war crimes, and she doesn't know if he is still alive and if he is looking for her.
When she gets messages that hint about times during the war, she knows he has found her.
What will happen to both sisters?
Hopefully nothing as bad as what happened during the war.
Will the Nazi confront Aleida and demand the files she stole?
The writing is beautiful as always with Ms. Saab's books.
THE STAR SOCIETY did take a bit of warming up to start, but the story ultimately will capture the attention of historical fiction fans and fans of Hollywood and you won't want to stop reading. 5/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
