The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff .

Let me just say first , this novel is extraordinary not only in the characters and the story. And this novel taught me that , there are so many unknown stories about the lives lost in war and there are many more stories we don't know about yet from either war. About the innocent ones, the ones who brought normalcy to the world, that was being shattered by violence. Each soul is important, regardless of their race.
I can't even imagine what their lives and emotions were each day. Protecting one and another as a family; strangers and people who come together, when they have nowhere else to go
And thinking the babies that barely had lived enough to be taken away from their mothers to their death, left an unsettling impression in my soul and reminder of what was lost; truly were the innocent , that the was also unforgiving part of who you are, it didn't matter as long you solicited with Jews you were dead to. I never thought about the circus folk during those times, I hope this novel reaches more as a reminder they mattered and existed. I just wanted to know about them,each person. And they went just some "Unamed Footnote" In history. The Circus always accepted everyone in the community and hide those who need safety from the SS. Collective of strangers with a gift became family and showed the world, there is will always be light in the world no matter what the circumstances are.
Family isn't about blood that ties us. We are all start as strangers if you think about it. And the people who walk into your life turn into family, those are the ones that speak volumes when tragedy happens. Even under the circumstances of war friendship and finding love is possible.
In the end people do the impossible to make the possible happen for the good for one soul even through war. And finding love through it all in each person through tragedy or not; loves does conquer the word even through death. I wish Peter and Astrid's had more time together. Astrid and Noa created an unbreakable bond in the end as if they were sisters from the start of their lives. Both with tragic pasts and they understood each other's secrets, the most. And Theo was the lucky one to be saved.
The ending of this novel before the epilong wasn't what I expected; in fact the last three chapters bewildered me with the events that happened. The last line in the last chapter, it made take a breath in and hold back tear."And Then Darkness"; were Noa's last words. That just said it all for the novel the darkness finally took over. Prepare for your emotions and heart strings to be pulled endless but Highly work every single one. I tried to write this book review without giving anything away. This novel is full of love, tragedy and sacificies.
