Summary:
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. An engaging and evocative novel reminiscent of The
Lost
Girls of Paris and The Alice Network, The
Book
of
Lost
Names
is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of bravery and love in the face of evil.
