In the eye of the war That tore the world apart A mother wants a
son A daughter needs a mother Winter 1939: Danusha and her family
are forced to flee their home when the Nazis invade Poland.
Danusha's mother, Anna, changes her name and secures a position as
a housekeeper in a German doctor's mansion in Krakow where Gestapo
meetings are hosted in the kitchen... Her secret is their
salvation, but what Danusha remembers most is the solitude, with
only her baby brother and the girl in the mirror for company. All
Anna ever wanted was a firstborn son. All Danusha ever wanted was a
mother who would love her like a firstborn son. Instead she got one
who could look a Nazi straight in the eye but not into the eyes of
her own daughter. It is only years later, when their neighbours
gather in the living room to hear Anna's stories, that Danusha
finally realises her mother was never a cold unknowable sea but a
storm-wracked sky - sometimes bright, sometimes dark, and always
watching over her. The Polish Girl is a heartbreaking and
unforgettable historical novel by the author of international
bestseller The Brothers of Auschwitz - perfect for fans of Antonio
Iturbe and Edith Eger.
