Someone Named Eva


Someone Named Eva
This story takes place during World War II. A small town in Poland is taken over by Nazi Germany and the families are split apart. Children are measured and evaluated to see if they have what it takes to become part of the "perfect" German society. Eva is stripped away from her family and placed in a school to learn how to become a perfect German girl. After being forced to forget her native language and learning German, she is adopted by a German family. This new family holds many secrets about what is going on during the war. Eva struggles to hold on to who she is while trying to fit into this new family.
This is a great book full of action. The ending explains what is real and what is fiction. Unfortunately, most of what you read actually happened. Two thumbs up for this Historical Fiction Novel!!
