Teo's mother died immediately, but Em's survived, determined to raise Teo according to his late mother's wishes - in a place where he won't be discriminated against because of the color of his skin. But in 1930s America, a white woman raising a black adoptive son alongside a white daughter is too often seen as a threat. Seeking a home where her children won't be held back by ethnicity or gender, Rhoda brings Em and Teo to Ethiopia, and all three fall in love with the beautiful, peaceful country. But that peace is shattered by the threat of war with Italy, and teenage Em and Teo are drawn into the conflict. Will their devotion to their country, its culture and people, and each other be their downfall or their salvation? In the tradition of her award-winning and bestselling Code Name Verity, Elizabeth Wein brings us another thrilling and deeply affecting novel that explores the bonds of friendship, the resilience of young pilots, and the strength of the human spirit."--From publisher.

      By Harmel, Kristin
       2020., Gallery Books Call No: Fic Har   Edition: First Gallery Books hardcover edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Eva Traube Abrams, a semi-retired librarian in Florida, is shelving books one morning when her eyes lock on a photograph in a magazine lying open nearby. She freezes; it's an image of a book she hasn't seen in sixty-five years--a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II--an experience Eva remembers well--and the search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. The book in the photograph, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war, is one of the most fascinating cases. Now housed in Berlin's Zentral- und Landesbibliothek library, it appears to contain some sort of code, but researchers don't know where it came from--or what the code means. Only Eva holds the answer--but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war? As a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris after the arrest of her father, a Polish Jew. Finding refuge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone, she begins forging identity documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland. But erasing people comes with a price, and along with a mysterious, handsome forger named Remy, Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children who are too young to remember who they really are. The records they keep in The Book of Lost Names will become even more vital when the resistance cell they work for is betrayed and Remy disappears."--Amazon.

       2010., Hurtubise Call No: FR Fic Hum    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: La nuit est tombée sur Coventry, ville industrielle de lœAngleterre, en ce 14 novembre 1940. Harriet Marsh est juchée sur le toit de la cathédrale, à lœaffût dœune attaque de lœaviation allemande. Depuis lœété, dix-sept raids ont eu lieu sur la ville, provoquant des dégâts limités. Le dix-huitième, qui se déploiera à la faveur dœune pleine lune propice, sera aussi le dernier. Pour Harriet, Jeremy, un jeune homme qui fait le guet avec elle, et sa mère Maeve, terrée non loin de là dans une cave, cette nuit tragique aura une incidence déterminante sur le reste de leur vie. Dans le cadre bouleversant de lœune des attaques aériennes les plus meurtrières de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Helen Humphreys tisse, entre le fracas et la fureur des bombes, dans la fumée et la poussière, parmi les ruines et les cratères, une histoire dœune infinie beauté. Dans la ville en flammes où les hirondelles tombent toutes rôties des nues, Harriet guide Jeremy à la recherche de sa mère. Alors que la mort déferle partout autour dœelle, Harriet reprend vie et redécouvre des sentiments quœelle croyait à jamais enfouis. Un récit dœune sobriété et dœune justesse sans faille, dœune sensibilité à fleur de peau, qui explore les thèmes de lœamour, de la mémoire et de la perte à travers une intrigue haletante. Un livre dœune troublante actualité, à offrir aux grands de ce monde qui persistent à tuer chaque jour, par militaires interposés, des centaines dœinnocents. Un livre dœune poésie envoûtante, où lœon suit pas à pas les trois héros dans les décombres, en tremblant de peur et dœangoisse pour des êtres de papier.
