MY THOUGHTS:
Wanda Odwaga begs the German soldier to not kill her father, but it was too late. He’s gone and she will never forget that horrible experience in her life. Wanda witnessed the murder of her father and she decides she must do something to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Wanda joins the Polish resistance and she comes face to face with the Nazi that murdered her father. She will never forget that fateful day and she wants revenge for her father’s death. Her work for the resistance is important but her mission is personal…to take the life of the man that took her father’s life. Meanwhile, Finn leaves America to impersonate his twin brother Stephen. Stephen has killed many Jewish people at the command of the Nazi’s. Finn’s mission, by the order of the British government, is to bring down Hitler and his army.
I enjoyed this story very much. The Polish Girl was a very emotional read and I found myself reaching for the Kleenex box a few times. This story was both a heart-breaking and inspiring read, that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next. Author Gosia Nealon is a new author for me. I really enjoyed her writing style, and she definitely pulled me into the pages at the very beginning. I will absolutely, and with a doubt read more of her books. This is the first installment in what I am sure will be a wonderful series and I highly recommend it.

Poland, 1944. “Please, officer, I beg you—”, I cry. But my father has already fallen. “Don’t leave me, Tata,” I whisper, rushing to desperately cradle him close. As the kind, loving man who raised me takes his last breath, I weep into my hands and promise to fight to end this terrible war, no matter the cost…
Although it won’t bring her beloved father back, twenty-three-year-old Wanda vows to honour his memory and all he stood for. Throwing herself into the Polish resistance, she risks her life on the dangerous mission of transporting ammunition for the underground network’s uprising against the Nazis.
Slipping through the night-time shadows of an empty park to meet an informant—one who could provide crucial supplies in the battle for what’s right—the sight of the man waiting turns Wanda’s blood to ice. Even in the dim light, she instantly recognises him as the soldier who killed her father.
The soldier claims he is a double agent, working for the resistance. Questioning everything, Wanda’s heart races as she is forced to make a split-second decision. Believe the man who she thought was the enemy? Or endanger the lives of her network—and their secret plans to fight the Germans?
Can Wanda trust the man she hates most in the world? Did her father die in vain? Or if she fights her every instinct, will she truly change the tide of the war?
