"The Kommandant's Girl" by Pam Jenoff

March 15, 2010

"The Kommandant's Girl" is a well written first novel by Pam Jenoff and is based in part on actual events. I found it a quick read -- a romance full of intrigue, difficult decisions, deception, loss, and hope in the midst of a horrific war. It's also a story of lasting relationships forged out of necessity and assistance from unexpected sources. I've always had an interest in the Holocaust and this novel gives a realistic depiction of the Holocaust without all the really gruesome details that I believe would have detracted from the main focus of this story.
