If you know me, you know I love historical fiction! WWII is my favorite, so I was excited to get this engaging and captivating story and be part of this tour. I’ve read one of Kelly Rimmer’s other novels, Truths I Never Told You, so I know that I would enjoy it! This story is based in fact and I had heard of Irena Sendler, but this story just sucked me in. The details were amazingly vivid and the story stayed with me long after I was done reading. I will say that some of it was hard to read, but I liked how the ending felt so hopeful.
Thank you for having me as part of the tour and for my e-galley!

ABOUT THE BOOK:
With the thrilling pace and historical drama of Pam Jenoff and Kristin Hannah, New York Times
bestselling author Kelly Rimmer’s newest novel is an epic WWII saga and love story, based on
the real-life efforts of two young people taking extraordinary risks to save their countrymen, as
they try to find their way back to each other and the life they once knew.
Following on the success of The Things We Cannot Say, this is Kelly Rimmer’s return to the
WWII category with a brand new novel inspired by Irena Sendler, the real-life Polish nurse who
used her access to the Warsaw ghetto to smuggle Jewish children and babies to safety.
Spanning the tumultuous years between 1942 and 1945 in Poland, The Warsaw Orphan follows
Emilia over the course of the war, her involvement with the Resistance, and her love for
Sergiusz, a young man imprisoned in the Jewish ghetto who’s passion leads him to fight in the
Warsaw Uprising. From the Warsaw ghetto to the Ravensbruck concentration camp, through
Nazi occupation to the threat of a communist regime, Kelly Rimmer has penned her most
meticulously researched and emotionally compelling novel to date.
