What would you do if you discovered a book of lost secrets that you last laid eyes on over 60 years ago?
This is the question to be answered by 86 year old Eva Abrams or was it Eva Traube? Eva Moreau? Marie Charpentier? Sloneczko? Who could keep track of the endless identities of this once young hero. This enchanting tale follows Eva in her early 20s as she works as a forger, making false identities for children escaping the horrors of World War II. Throughout this, she encounters friends and foes who shape her life long after the war is over. In all my life, I have never been as captivated by a book as I was with The Book of Lost Names. In only two sessions of reading, I was left with a finished book and my stomach in knots.
