March 2020 - The Kommandant's Girl
Based on the wonderful reviews we got from The Lost Girls of Paris, I thought we'd give y'all another Pam Jenoff book for this month. As everyone loved the last one so much, I'm hoping you all enjoy this one too!

Book: The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff
Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau has been married only three weeks when Nazi tanks thunder into her native Poland. Within days Emma’s husband, Jacob, is forced to disappear underground, leaving her imprisoned within the city’s decrepit Jewish ghetto. But then, in the dead of night, the resistance smuggles her out. Taken to Krakow to live with Jacob’s Catholic aunt, Krysia, Emma takes on a new identity as Anna Lipowski, a gentile.
Emma’s already precarious situation is complicated by her introduction to Kommandant Richwalder, a high-ranking Nazi official who hires her to work as his assistant. Urged by the resistance to use her position to access details of the Nazi occupation, Emma must compromise her safety—and her marriage vows—in order to help Jacob’s cause. As the atrocities of war intensify, Emma must make choices that will force her to risk not only her double life, but also the lives of those she loves.
This book is available on Amazon, Kindle and at Barnes and Noble.
If you can’t make a book club meeting that’s fine. There’s always next month! If you are planning to attend, please R.S.V.P to info@lavenderhilldesigns.com or (843) 352-7042.
Remember…the journey of a lifetime begins with the turning of a page.
Happy reading!
