Historical Fiction is one of my favorite genres and I have read many novels set during World War II. I was very much looking forward to reading The Girl from Krakow but found that it did not live up to my expectations.
It does provide a slightly different perspective of the Holocaust and does give a picture of what life might have been like in several different cities during the war. I was not drawn in by the story and often found myself bogged down with the details. I wasn’t able to develop any real interest or connection with the main character and while I wanted to find out how her story would end, I did not find the book memorable. I felt some of the love scenes and romantic relationships throughout the book were unrealistic and unnecessary.
I received this book from Book Sparks as part of their FRC 2015 in exchange for an honest review.
