SOMEDAY WE WILL FLY
by Rachel DeWoskin
Performers in the Warsaw Circus must flee for their lives
from the Nazis. As they flee to Shanghai, Lillia’s mother is lost. She and
father left with no Choice, continue to Shanghai where Jews are being offered
safety, but not an easy life. As the Japanese draw ever nearer, life becomes
more tenuous and scary.
Well written and researched, this YA novel is also a
wonderful read for adults. The Jewish
experience in war time China has been little known. This book attempts to
rectify that omission and succeeds.
Lillia, her father and those she comes in contact with are fully
developed characters. The plot is engrossing.
5 of 5 stars
