Über diesen Titel

 “A fascinating, heartrending page-turner that, like the real-life forgers who inspired the novel, should never be forgotten.” —Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday

Inspired by an astonishing true story from World War II, a young woman with a talent for forgery helps hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis in this “sweeping and magnificent” (Fiona Davis, bestselling author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue) historical novel from the #1 international bestselling author of The Winemaker’s Wife.

Eva Traube Abrams, a semi-retired librarian in Florida, is shelving books when her eyes lock on a photograph in the New York Times. She freezes; it’s an image of a book she hasn’t seen in more than sixty years—a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names.

The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II—an experience Eva remembers well—and the search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. The book in the photograph, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war, is one of the most fascinating cases. Now housed in Berlin’s Zentral- und Landesbibliothek library, it appears to contain some sort of code, but researchers don’t know where it came from—or what the code means. Only Eva holds the answer, but does she have the strength to revisit old memories?

As a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris and find refuge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone, where she began forging identity documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland. But erasing people comes with a price, and along with a mysterious, handsome forger named Rémy, Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children who are too young to remember who they really are. The records they keep in The Book of Lost Names will become even more vital when the resistance cell they work for is betrayed and Rémy disappears.

An engaging and evocative novel reminiscent of The Lost Girls of Paris and The Alice Network, The Book of Lost Names is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of bravery and love in the face of evil. 20. Jahrhundert Belletristik Frauenliteratur Historische Romane Krieg & Militär

The blurb made it sound so promising, but sadly, The Book of Lost Names did not deliver. The plot was not very believable (someone on Goodreads called it “a Disney version of a Holocaust story”, and that’s exactly how it felt) and the dialogue was just as stilted. The characters were even worse though, one-dimensional at best and downright annoying at worst. For all young Eva was made out to be oh so talented and brave, I mostly found her so naive that it was bordering on stupid (go ahead and discuss the fact that you’re Jews traveling on false papers while a whole train carriage watches you suspiciously, why don’t you). Her mother though. I haven’t felt this angry at a fictional character since Dolores Umbridge. Her negativity and the way she constantly guilt-tripped Eva over the most innocuous things (how dare you try save the lives of innocent children instead of going back to almost certain death in Paris with me!) made me dread every scene with her. I might have enjoyed this book far more if Eva had just left her mother behind in Paris.
The speaker made getting through this book even harder. The story was boring enough already, no need to make it even more so by reading it out in the most monotonous voice. The speaker’s pronunciation of French and German was also appalling - I might forgive the bad German because the main character doesn’t speak it, but a story that’s mostly set in France and revolves around native speakers of French should be narrated by someone who doesn’t butcher the pronunciation of French terms and names.
All in all, stay clear of this book. There’s so much good literature on WW2 around, no need to waste your time on the Disney version of it.

Huge disappointment
