Night Song: A Story of Sacrifice (The Liberator Series, Book 3)
InNight Song, Goyer weaves together the stories of a privileged young Austrian woman, drawn into the Austrian resistance against the Nazis; the American doctor who loves her; an ambitious Nazi musician who enters the Mauthausen Concentration Camp in search of a priceless violin; and a hapless Jewish musician named Jakub Hanauer, who joins the Mauthausen camp orchestra in hopes of extra biscuits or bits of apples. Goyer's love story seems superfluous. And she is perhaps not brutal enough in portraying the fate of Jakub's family, though a scene in which his younger brother's hands are destroyed is affecting. Still, Jakub is appealing, and the larger story honest and heartfelt.John MortCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
