Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all. Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job.

By: Melanie Dobson
Publisher's summary
In her luminous and groundbreaking debut, New York Times best-selling author Pam Jenoff shows the unimaginable sacrifices one woman must make in a time of war.
Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau has been married only three weeks when Nazi tanks thunder into her native Poland. Within days, Emma’s husband, Jacob, is forced to disappear underground, leaving her imprisoned within the city’s decrepit Jewish ghetto. But then, in the dead of night, the resistance smuggles her out. Taken to Krakow to live with Jacob’s Catholic aunt Krysia, Emma takes on a new identity as Anna Lipowski, a gentile.
Emma’s already precarious situation is complicated by her introduction to Kommandant Richwalder, a high-ranking Nazi official who hires her to work as his assistant. Urged by the resistance to use her position to access details of the Nazi occupation, Emma must compromise her safety - and her marriage vows - in order to help Jacob’s cause. As the atrocities of war intensify, Emma must make choices that will force her to risk not only her double life, but also the lives of those she loves.

Story4 out of 5 stars 215
Brought to the peace conference by her father, a German diplomat, Margot Rosenthal initially resents being trapped in the congested French capital, where she is still looked upon as the enemy. But as she contemplates returning to Berlin and a life with Stefan, the wounded fiancé she hardly knows anymore, she decides that being in Paris is not so bad after all. Bored and torn between duty and the desire to be free, Margot strikes up unlikely alliances: with Krysia, an accomplished musician with radical acquaintances and a secret to protect; and with Georg, the handsome, damaged naval officer who gives Margot a job.

Life is a constant struggle for the 18-year-old Nowak twins as they raise their three younger siblings in rural Poland under the shadow of the Nazi occupation.

Midwife Patience Murphy has a gift: a talent for escorting mothers through the challenges of bringing children into the world. Working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia during the Depression, Patience takes the jobs that no one else wants, helping those most in need - and least likely to pay. She knows a successful midwifery practice must be built on a foundation of openness and trust - but the secrets Patience is keeping are far too intimate and fragile for her to ever let anyone in.

Life is a constant struggle for the 18-year-old Nowak twins as they raise their three younger siblings in rural Poland under the shadow of the Nazi occupation. The constant threat of arrest has made everyone in their village a spy, and turned neighbor against neighbor. Though rugged, independent Helena and pretty, gentle Ruth couldn't be more different, they are staunch allies in protecting their family from the threats the war brings closer to their doorstep with each passing day.

Jewish girl falls in love with Nazi?
Decent romance, but I think it's disrespectful to the victims of the holocaust to have a storyline where a young Jewish girl falls in love with a top Nazi official, especially when her parents were starving in the ghetto in the same city.
I enjoyed the Orphans Tale, but I think this went too far.

Realistic and time porting
I liked that it didn't get too detailed on the steamy side and focused more on the story

Exciting I survived the Nazis story
I enjoyed the story and the dystopian narration was spot on. There were some places where I said, "Well, things could have happened like that I guess...but not very likely. It is a good story as long as you are willing to just go with it.

Old Favorite
I first read this book back when I was in high school and it's been one of my favorites ever since. This being the first time I've "read" it as an adult, I picked up on a lot of stuff that I didn't notice before. There are a lot of deus ex machinas in it. A lot of stuff is just a little too convenient to be believable, but I love it nonetheless. I'm sure I'll read it or listen to it many more times.

Gripping story!
The Kommandant’s Girl was an entertaining WWII story about the Jewish resistance in Poland. The young Jewish girl who posed as a Catholic girl was the personal assistant to the Nazi Kommandant and spent her time spying on him for the Resistance. The story had a great cast of characters & clearly described the situation in Poland.

Compelling
WWII has always intrigued me. I still question how humans can destroy each other. Hitler hated Jews. This story proves that 2 people with different nationalities can love each other. When German realizes he is in love with a Jew he is not able to hate her, yet his nationality dictates that he is supposed to. I believe some of the hate still prevails to this day

Light read
It kept my interest til about 2/3 way through. Then it got overly dramatic, a typical romance novel that I normally don’t read. Just not my type for the last 1/3. Predictable. Read well. Would not recommend to most of my friends.
