"So many lists. . .. .some for life, some for death."
When private tutor Amity Mitchell travels from London, England to Prague, Czechoslovakia, the country is on the cusp of total German occupation. Being summoned by her brother, whose work with the British government involves rescuing Jewish children from Nazi atrocities, she works furiously to process the mandatory documentation needed by each child. Leaving behind her employer Clark Cartwright and his beloved daughter Celia, becomes increasingly difficult as the days turn into weeks, yet Amity is confident that she is walking down the path that God has shown her.
Pavla Simonova ignores her grief and pushes forward to escape Jivova, Czechoslovakia with her two children, following the vicious deaths of her husband and in-laws. Desperate to reach Prague, where trains to England are said to be available, she has no idea of the danger lurks between the shadows, but is certain that their family legacy will be preserved if only her children can experience life beyond Hitler's hatred.
This author has woven an incredible amount of history into this story, which made it quite fascinating through-out. "The London Chronicles" is proving itself to be an outstanding series.
