4.0

The Daughter's Tale by Armando Lucas Correa is about a family of four in Germany. They do not leave fast enough and quick decisions need to be made.

This was a good novel. I felt for the characters throughout the entire book, however I did lose interest for the last quarter until the final ending came. There were a few too many characters and I kept wanting to know more about some of them. The ending brought everything together perfectly. I wanted to know just a little more about Elise as she grew older, to create more of a connection between the two timelines.

The MS St. Louis was eerily done. It was already covered in great detail in The German Girl, and I appreciated that there was no need to do so again. It helped continue the mystery because some things are better left unsaid.

3.5/5. Thank you to Atria Books and Netgalley for the advanced reading copy.

I didn’t really enjoy this book to be honest. It had moments that I thought were just really unrealistic. How the uncle said he would only take one girl, and it would be the youngest girl. And how Danielle was just mad about it and accepted it. There were aspects that I enjoyed, the historical accuracy was interesting. But I wouldn’t recommend this as a book to read for others.

I've been on a roll with 4 and 5 star books, lately. This one is no exception! This is a must read story for all who are interested in WWII and survival of the unspeakable.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books for this advanced readers copy. Release date for The Daughter's Tale is set for May 2019.
