Parigi, 1919. A Margot Rosenthal, giovane e bella ragazza tedesca, la vita parigina sta decisamente un po'' stretta. Ha accompagnato il padre diplomatico alla conferenza di pace che si tiene nella capitale francese e non le piace affatto essere guardata ancora come un nemico. Quando però inizia ad accarezzare l''idea di tornare a Berlino e a una vita con Stefan, il fidanzato ferito, reduce di guerra, che ormai stenta a riconoscere, arriva alla conclusione che in fondo stare a Parigi non è poi così male. Annoiata e contesa tra ciò che il dovere le impone e il desiderio di essere libera, Margot stringe amicizie improbabili: con Krysia, un abile musicista con conoscenze radicali e un segreto da nascondere e con Georg, affascinante ufficiale che non solo le trova un lavoro, ma riesce a far vacillare tutto quello che Margot credeva di sapere di se stessa e del proprio senso di lealtà. Sullo sfondo di uno dei più importanti avvenimenti del secolo, una rete delicata di bugie offusca la linea tra le ferite di guerra e quelle del cuore, rendendo la fiducia un lusso che nessuno può davvero permettersi.

In de roman Het weeskind van Pam Jenoff weet de gevluchte Noa tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog onderdak te vinden in een Duits circus. Een prachtig verhaal vol geheimen, verraad, leugens en passie. Als de zestienjarige Noa in Het weeskind van New York Times-bestsellerauteur Pam Jenoff zwanger blijkt te zijn van een nazi-soldaat, wordt ze gedwongen haar kind af te staan. Ze moet haar ouderlijk huis verlaten en komt terecht in een kamer boven een klein station. Op een dag ontdekt ze een goederenwagen met tientallen Joodse baby’s die op weg zijn naar een concentratiekamp. Noa denkt aan het kind dat van haar is afgenomen en in een opwelling die haar verdere leven zal bepalen, pakt ze een van de baby’s op en vlucht ze. Ze vindt onderdak bij een Duits circus en om daar niet op te vallen moet ze zich bekwamen in trapezewerk. Intussen probeert ze zich niets aan te trekken van het vijandige gedrag van Astrid, haar collega-trapezewerkster. Tussen de twee vrouwen die aanvankelijk rivalen zijn, ontwikkelt zich echter al gauw een hechte band. Maar wanneer het circus niet langer bescherming kan bieden, is het de vraag of hun vriendschap sterk genoeg is. Of zullen de geheimen die ze bij zich dragen alles kapotmaken? ‘Geheimen, leugens, verraad en passie. Ik heb dit boek in sneltreinvaart uitgelezen.’ – Christina Baker Kline ‘Jenoff heeft een ode geschreven aan de menselijke kracht tijdens een gruwelijke, dramatische tijd.’ – NPR ‘Prachtig geschreven, Het weeskind is een boek dat je niet neer kunt leggen.’ – Bustle

Sixteen-year-old Adelia Monteforte begins the summer of 1941 aboard a crowded ship bound for America and the shelter it promises, utterly alone yet free of Fascist Italy, which is no longer safe for a young Jewish girl. Despite never wanting to venture too near the ocean again, Addie is whisked away to the seaside by her well-meaning aunt and uncle, where slowly she begins to adapt to her new life. That summer, she basks in the noisy affection of the boisterous Irish-Catholic clan next door. Though she adores all the Connally boys—sweet Robbie, moody Liam, studious Jack—it''s Charlie she pines for: the eldest, the golden boy. But all hopes for a future together are throttled by the creep of war and a tragedy that hits much closer to home. Needing to distance herself from grief and the prospect of greater pain, Addie flees—first to Washington and then London, where the bombs still scream by night—and finds a position at a prestigious newspaper. More so, she finds a purpose. A voice. And perhaps even a chance to redeem lost time, lost family—and lost love. But the past, never far behind, nips at her heels, demanding to be reckoned. And in a final, fateful choice, Addie discovers that the way home may be a path she never suspected.
