A Chilling Conclusion

 Years ago, I listened to The Kommandant’s Girl by Pam Jenoff. I totally loved the book and thought surely there would be a sequel.  Yes, The Diplomat’s Wife carries many of the characters readers loved into this new story.  Where will the story go from here?

Synopsis: 


“1945. Marta Nederman has barely survived the brutality of a Nazi concentration camp, where she was imprisoned for her work with the Polish resistance. Lucky to have escaped with her life, she meets Paul, an American soldier, who gives her hope of a happier future. The two make a promise to meet in London, but Paul is in a deadly plane crash and never arrives.


Finding herself pregnant and alone in a strange city, Marta finds comfort with a kind British diplomat, and the two soon marry. But Marta’s happiness is threatened when the British government seeks her help to find a Communist spy—an undercover mission that resurrects the past with far-reaching consequences.


Set during a time of great upheaval and change, The Diplomat’s Wife, a gripping early work from Pam Jenoff, is a story of survival, love and heroism, and a great testament to the strength of women. “(amazon.com)


My Thoughts: 


I liked the Diplomat’s Wife.  I really got caught up in Marta’s story. I was thrilled that there was an update on Emma.  The story flagged for me in the middle after an event.  I don’t want to give it away.  This event is explained later in the story.  I did enjoy the spy storyline.  I would definitely read other books by Pam Jenoff. 


Rating: 


4/5
