Can't Wait Wednesday: The Warsaw Sisters by Amanda Barratt

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings that spotlights and discusses the books we're excited about that we've yet to read. Generally, they're books that are yet to be released. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm featuring The Warsaw Sisters by Amanda Barratt releasing November 7.

About the Book
On a golden August morning in 1939, sisters Antonina and Helena Dąbrowska send their father off to defend Poland against the looming threat of German invasion. The next day, the first bombs fall on Warsaw, decimating their beloved city and shattering the world of their youth.

When Antonina's beloved Marek is forced behind ghetto walls along with the rest of Warsaw's Jewish population, Antonina turns her worry into action and becomes a key figure in a daring network of women risking their lives to shelter Jewish children. Helena finds herself drawn into the ranks of Poland's secret army, joining the fight to free her homeland from occupation. But the secrets both are forced to keep threaten to tear the sisters apart--and the cost of resistance proves greater than either ever imagined.

Shining a light on the oft-forgotten history of Poland during WWII and inspired by true stories of ordinary individuals who fought to preserve freedom and humanity in the darkest of times, The Warsaw Sisters is a richly rendered portrait of courage, sacrifice, and the resilience of our deepest ties.


What upcoming release are you eagerly awaiting?

    I love the look of this one - and these types of stories need to keep being told so the new generations don't forget what folks in the middle of WWII had to endure.

    I am still avoiding WWII books, they just don't appeal to me right now. I hope you enjoy this one when you get a chance to read it.

      Thanks, Cindy! I totally understand that. I'm being very selective on WWII books lately. I think I overdid it, lol. :)
