What's in a name? LOL

Way back when I was four years old - actually, it was on my fourth birthday - I got a series of two books (very small paperbacks for children) about a girl named Camilla, like me. The girl ends up being an amateur sleuth because of mysterious things happening in the area where she lives. Camilla in the book was ten years older than me and many times that was how it was. I read books for kids much older than me.

Once in a while, I come across a character named Silas, like my son. All of them are crotchety old men. Clearly, Silas hasn’t become one on the ’hot’ new baby names in English-speaking countries.

Lately, I’ve also come across a character named Petronella, in one book I will review quite soon. The lady was about middle aged (maybe a little younger) and extremely dull, a bit of a wet blanket. You can hardly imagine anyone more different from my daughter. Yet, it is her name. It’s both weird and fun to come across familiar names like that.

Even more recently, there was a character in another book, called Althea. That was even more weird. The lady was going senile. Again, as far from my niece as you can possibly imagine.

Finally, only the other day, I read a really great fantasy book, in fact one that I just reviewed and posted about today and in that an aunt by the name of Juliana was mentioned. You didn’t actually get to meet aunt Juliana, but still, her name was mentioned. A name that is also my other niece’s.

I can’t recall the last time I read about a Gabriella (my sister’s name) but it happens now and then. Clearly, that name isn’t as unusual as the others. There is a translator by that name, who translates many of my children’s favorite animated movies and tv series though. Also, an actress in Poldark shares my sister’s name so you see it quite frequently.

Though no more Camillas for a long time. Although Maria Lang/Dagmar Lange has a character by that name in one of her books - an opera singer no less and I seem to recall that Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero has an old lady by that name too. That’s as many as I can remember at the moment.

"The Book of Lost Names", by Kristin Harmel
"The Book of Lost Names" - Kristin Harmel

This latest chronicles the story of a skilled forger who risks her life to help hundreds of Jewish children escape the Nazis during World War 11. This unforgettable historical novel is inspired by an astonishing true story. “The Book of Lost Names” is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of evil. This is the story of Eva Traube, her story transitions between 2005 in Florida and France 1940 where the life of a young Polish-French changed for ever.

The dual time line is easy to follow, it is smoothly done. Mostly set during the war, of course there is a great deal about the French Resistance and the incredible important role the forgers had to play in order to save thousands of lives. We follow Eva’s journey into a world of inner working of networks and into Eva’s personal sacrifice. We also have a love story of two people which time is not on their side.

The writing is touching and much care is brought to each character making this one of the most engaging stories I have read in some time. Who to trust and who not to trust were on everyone’s mind and the author highlights the struggles Eva suffered to find the right balance. There is a lot to this story, so much humanity in the words, so much pain…In Eva`s clandestine group we will meet other forgers, a priest, a bookstore keeper, her landlady and her mother who plays an important role. These good people are just a drop of good people doing dangerous activities under the nose of the Nazis.….many of them will be betrayed and will never be seen again…

The author tells us although her story is based on true historical facts she took liberty to change place, names and modified events to give her more freedom to transport us into a heart-warming story that would stay with us after the closing page….This page-turner surely did for me. This is one novel I had a very hard time to put down. Well-done.

I receive the ARC from the publisher Simon & Schuster Canada via Netgalleys for my unbiased and voluntary opinion.
