The Kommandant's Girl

One book that I just happened to pick up on a whim and ended up reading straight through in one day was The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff. I had never heard of her or the book but was captured by the cover and then ultimately sold by the description on the back.

"September 1939. Overnight, Jewish nineteen-year-old Emma Bau's world is turned upside down when Germany invades Poland. And after only six weeks of marriage, her husband Jacob, a member of the Resistance, is forced to flee. Escaping the ghetto, Emma assumes a new, Christian identity and finds work at Nazi headquarters. As secretary to the charismatic Kommandant Richwalder, Emma vows to use her unique position to gather intelligence for the Resistance, by any means necessary. "
