Book Review of The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story

The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


Even though this is a non fiction book, I had to keep reminding myself that it was because it read more like a historical fiction book. It is a great story, suspenseful, and is full of interesting facts to boot. I ended the book with a better understanding about how the events of WW11 affected the lives of Christian Poles and Jewish Poles. It was interesting to see how the Zabinski's used their knowledge of animal behavior to help them rescue so many jews without ever being discovered by the Germans and Nazi's. I would highly recommend this book.
