A Daring Escape

Wow! Excellent WW2 story, set in England and Czechoslovakia in 1938-1939. The main characters, instead of being soldiers, doctors, nurses, and so on—as you might find in the average WW2 novel—are a governess, a writer, and a freshly bereaved Jewish widow and mother of two. The combination is excellent and unique, and the suspense is real as the Nazis march closer to Prague and Amity and her friends risk everything to rescue as many Jewish children as possible. Pavla, the mother, risks her life to take her children to Prague and send them to safety in England before the Nazis and the man who hates her can catch up with them.

Highly recommended.
