A very well written and disturbing story of the horrors of war and people turning into beasts。 Yet， this books also talks about love， sacrifice and that even in full on darkness there is always some light and hope。 I pray that it is so。

As a librarian and former history teacher， I tend to gravitate towards historical fiction and really enjoyed "The Doctor's Daughter"。 The book was very well written and offered perspectives that aren't what we typically read in a WW2 novel - the Jewish child of a father who works for the Nazis and a child who begins their journey in the Warsaw ghetto。 I enjoyed how the narrators stories began separately than became more intertwined throughout the story， and will be recommending it to my friends。 As a librarian and former history teacher， I tend to gravitate towards historical fiction and really enjoyed "The Doctor's Daughter"。 The book was very well written and offered perspectives that aren't what we typically read in a WW2 novel - the Jewish child of a father who works for the Nazis and a child who begins their journey in the Warsaw ghetto。 I enjoyed how the narrators stories began separately than became more intertwined throughout the story， and will be recommending it to my friends。 。。。more

Brilliant！ A resounding story of hope！ Another 5* and it deserves nothing less。Isaac and Olivia live in Poland with their parents， when World War 2 breaks out the Nazi’s start rounding up the Jewish population and the world that Isaac and his sister know changes instantly beyond recognition as they are forced to live in a Polish Jewish ghetto and then are moved on to the notorious Auschwitz。 Separated from each other and alone， they both have difficult but different challenges to stay alive。 Isa Brilliant！ A resounding story of hope！ Another 5* and it deserves nothing less。Isaac and Olivia live in Poland with their parents， when World War 2 breaks out the Nazi’s start rounding up the Jewish population and the world that Isaac and his sister know changes instantly beyond recognition as they are forced to live in a Polish Jewish ghetto and then are moved on to the notorious Auschwitz。 Separated from each other and alone， they both have difficult but different challenges to stay alive。 Isaac is sent to a local farm where he is tasked with hard labour and one day， he sees a beautiful girl in the window of the farmhouse。 Sofia lives at the farm with her father， Friedrich and Jewish mother， Lena。 Her father has been forced to help train new doctors coming into the SS in return for a “privileged marriage” which should keep Lena and Sofia safe from the Nazi’s。 However， Lena and Sofia hate Friedrich for this， feeling that they are abandoning their own people。 When Isaac and the labourers appear on the farm， Lena and Sofia see the shocking abuse they are subjected to by the guards and hatch a daring plan to not only help the labourers but also to try and save them。 It’s a audacious plan and they know they are risking not only their lives but the lives of the labourers， but they can’t stand by and do nothing。 Will they succeed？ You’ll have to read to find out！This was a good read。 Yes， at times it definitely wasn’t easy reading and very harrowing but then no tale about the horrors of Auschwitz is easy to read。 I feel it is important that these stories need to be told （and read） so that history hopefully does not repeat itself。 In all honesty， while reading this book， it really made me so thankful for the simple things in life we take for granted and it really made me think。 The ending was beautiful， and I cried which is always the sign of a good book。 All in all， compelling and sad but ultimately a story of strength and hope。 I definitely would recommend this book to any fans of this type of historical fiction， and I look forward to reading some more of Shari J Ryans work。Thank you to Netgalley， Shari J Ryan and Bookouture for my advanced reading copy。 Out now。 。。。more

this is totally not the type of book that I read BUT I have to say once you start reading you are drawn in。 I can honestly say that as I was reading this story it felt as though I was the one living this nightmare。 This takes you to a time where being Jewish was a bad thing and how one person who shows compassion can make a change。

"The curtain to my window has become the quilt concealing the monsters I used to think lived beneath my bed。 Truth be told， the monsters live outside， not in the dark， not hidden in any way。" The Doctor's Daughter is a poignant book set against the horrors of WWII in Poland， particularly the Warsaw Ghetto and the Auschwitz dead camp。 In the book we meet Sofia， a young Jewish girl （18） who is the daughter of a so-called privileged marriage。 While her mom and Sofia are Jewish， her dad is a protest "The curtain to my window has become the quilt concealing the monsters I used to think lived beneath my bed。 Truth be told， the monsters live outside， not in the dark， not hidden in any way。" The Doctor's Daughter is a poignant book set against the horrors of WWII in Poland， particularly the Warsaw Ghetto and the Auschwitz dead camp。 In the book we meet Sofia， a young Jewish girl （18） who is the daughter of a so-called privileged marriage。 While her mom and Sofia are Jewish， her dad is a protestant doctor， and as such she is protected from the worst atrocities of the Nazi regime in Poland initially。 We also meet Isaac， a young Jewish boy （18）， who， together with his family， lives in the Warsaw Ghetto。 Making the best of life for a while， he is soon left only with his younger sister Olivia （14）， as they are being deported to Auschwitz。 As Isaac is sent out on work detail on a farm near Auschwitz， he first lays eyes on Sofia。 Sofia， being increasingly upset about her father working with and for the Nazis， comes up with a plan to safe the boy she sees from her window。。。 Being told from both Sofia and Isaac's perspectives， and later increasingly also Olivia's perspective， we see three rather different view-points on what the war meant to youngsters living in Poland。 I believe the book painted a harrowingly truthful picture of what life in the Warsaw Ghetto was like。 I also appreciated the internal struggles Sofia was facing as she was no longer sure whether her father could be trusted。 She was fierce， and stood up for what she believed in （sometimes foolishly so）。 I enjoyed the traces of romance growing between Sofia and Isaac as well， and appreciate the researched detail that has gone into the story。While it is necessary to sometimes skip extended periods of time in a book like this， I felt like there was too much in the story to truly explore all the meanings of all the happenings。 I think that perhaps Olivia's storyline was not necessary for the main story to be believable and painfully real， and now feel like her story could be a book all on it's own。 That perhaps would have done it more justice。 I am also not sure that I needed the ending to be so neatly tied up with a ribbon around the package （despite not all of it being happy）， as I genuinely do not believe that is how WWII stories often ended， but that is more my own taste than anything else of course。 If you are looking for a well-written story that teaches more about the Nazi regime in Poland， exploring life in the ghetto and that of those in privileged marriages， this is definitely a read worthy of your time。A big thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with a digital ARC in return for an impartial review。 All thoughts and comments are my own。 。。。more
