It takes only a few chapters of Amanda Barratt’s latest release, The Warsaw Sisters, to see how last year’s release earned Christy Book of The Year. Barratt’s research is remarkable, her world building impeccable with the help of details one might never stop to consider otherwise. The Warsaw Sisters is a particularly visceral experience; you will feel the pull of the heart as Tata leaves his twin girls to go fight for Poland against the incoming Nazi invaders and break for the sisters as war tears them apart. Barratt writes a beautiful tribute to the determination of the citizens of Warsaw.
Spanning six years of Poland’s World War II fight and the return of Varsovians to their home, The Warsaw Sisters is the story of twins Antonina and Helena. Their mother sent their father off to war before the girls were born, but she is not here to see him off to fight the encroachment of the Nazis. Tosia and Hela continue to cling to each other among the chaos and toil for each day in their beloved city. As war ravages their home and tensions mount, the twins and their world are torn apart. Passions drive each sister to do what they must to survive this horror with honor intact.
