Book Summary
For fans of historical and more specifically World War II
fiction.
For fans of bestselling World War II fiction
like Sarah's Key and The Nightingale comes an
illuminating tale of courage, sacrifice, and survival, about
two couples whose lives are ravaged by Hitler's mad war yet
eventually redeemed through the fate of one little
girl.
Seemingly overnight, the German blitzkrieg of
Warsaw in 1939 turns its streets to a war zone and shatters
the life of each citizen—Polish, Jewish, or otherwise.
Sophie Kumiega, a British bride working in the city's
library, awaits news of her husband, Janek, recently
deployed with the Polish Air Force. Though Sophie is
determined that she and the baby in her womb will stay safe,
the days ahead will draw her into the plight of those around
her, compelling her to help, whatever the
danger.
Rosa and Itzhak Dunovich never imagined they
would welcome their longed-for first child in the Jewish
ghetto, or that they would let anything tear their family
apart. But as daily atrocities intensify, Rosa soon faces a
terrifying reality: to save their daughter's life, she must
send her into hiding. Her only hope of finding her after the
war—if any of them survive—is a medallion she cuts in half
and places around her neck.
Inspired by true events
of Poland's darkest days and brightest heroes, The
Medallion paints a stunning portrait of war and its
aftermath, daring us to believe that when all seems lost,
God can make a way forward.
