It
is nice to know that midst all of the craziness, 2020 still has some
special treasures to offer; The Book of Lost Names
being one of them. This is my favorite book of the year thus far, and
it will be difficult to unseat. Kristen Harmel fully emerges her
readers in the life of Eva Traube, graduate student turned forger for
the French Resistance. We get a glimpse of Eva's life as an
eighty-six-year-old librarian in Florida, but most of the story takes
place in the early 1940s in France. The book is well-researched,
well-written, and quite emotional. I give it my highest
recommendation, and am grateful to have received a copy from Simon &
Schuster via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed
here are my own.
