The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman

5.0

Thank you so much to Libro.fm for my copy of this book. I absolutely adored this book. I love Alice Hoffman and this is her best book yet. I adored every minute. During World War two, in Germany, Hanni Kohn knows that she must do something to save her daughter from the Nazis. In desperation, she seeks out someone who can make a Golem to take her daughter to safety. Instead of the rabbi, it is his daughter Ettie who helps and creates Ava. The life of the three women is forever intertwined. This beautiful story about life, love and friendship is more than I could have hoped for.
