The Warsaw sisters by Amanda Barrett shares the heavy and heartbreaking story of two women in Poland during the German invasion starting in 1939. This heavy tale weaves the story of these two sisters, their loss, loves, their hardship, their secrets, and their tragedy. This is a deep book to read. Helena and Antonia are twins. They share everything, but will the German invasion prevent that? What will happen to the closeness they once shared? How far will they go? What will they do to survive?
I will admit I had trouble getting started with the story because of the heaviness. I would say this is definitely historical fiction with a lot of facts. Once I was able to get into the story, I could not put it down. I was enthralled. The story of Antonia and Helena, the tragedies they endure, and the twist and turns of the story were amazing. It is a heavy book, but is definitely worth the read. This is part of the World War II Poland series. Lots of historical information but also a wonderful read. I would highly recommend.
