The Zookeeper's Wife

This book is packed with interesting historical and zoological facts, but oy what a slog! Every other chapter is disorienting with points of view changing and strange asides that don't keep to a clear storyline. Zookeeper's Wife is a fine book but it's really all over the place. I would not recommend it or read it again.

This is not the book expected. This is a great read of the heroic actions taken by individuals in Poland during World War II. All the events and character revolve around the zookeeper's wife, who is an amazing women. I recommend this to history buffs, and those who like stories about overcoming adversity.
