These “Golden Doves” were arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp along with their family members. Ravensbrück was the largest concentration camp for women. There Alette’s son is taken from her, and Josie’s mother suffered at the hands of a sadistic Nazi doctor.
Years later they are reunited when Josie accepts an assignment to hunt down the evil Nazi doctor who is attempting to flee justice. Arlette, who has been searching for clues about her son, received a message that her son may have been found. Josie is determined to find the infamous doctor responsible for so many deaths at Ravensbrück and Arlette is determined to find her son. The Golden Doves unite to help each other on their missions.
This book was well researched and well written. I don’t shy away from books over 500 pages; however, I felt the length of this book at times. I enjoyed both women, their POVS and their plight. I enjoy reading books about bravery and courage. Both women show it in all sections of the book.
I had never heard of operation paperclip and was astounded by what I learned. Wow and how could they come to mind after learning about it and looking up more information on my own.
This is the first book that I have read by the author, and I look forward to reading more of her work.
Thank you to Ballantine Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
