The Kommandant's Girl

The Kommandant's Girl

In her luminous and groundbreaking debut, New York Times bestselling author Pam Jenoff shows the unimaginable sacrifices one woman must make in a time of war

Nineteen-year-old Emma Bau has been married only three weeks when Nazi tanks thunder into her native Poland. Within days Emmaâ‚¬s husband, Jacob, is forced to disappear underground, leaving her imprisoned within the cityâ‚¬s decrepit Jewish ghetto. But then, in the dead of night, the resistance smuggles her out. Taken to Krakow to live with Jacobâ‚¬s Catholic aunt, Krysia, Emma takes on a new identity as Anna Lipowski, a gentile.

Emmaâ‚¬s already precarious situation is complicated by her introduction to Kommandant Richwalder, a high-ranking Nazi official who hires her to work as his assistant. Urged by the resistance to use her position to access details of the Nazi occupation, Emma must compromise her safetyâ‚¬"and her marriage vowsâ‚¬"in order to help Jacobâ‚¬s cause. As the atrocities of war intensify, Emma must make choices that will force her to risk not only her double life, but also the lives of those she loves.
