The Italian Ballerina (by Kristy Cambron)

There were so many things that had me excited to pick up this book and start reading. First of all, I typically love WWII historical fiction books. And I have loved previous books by Kristy Cambron. However, this book was a big disappointment to me. The constant moving around in time between chapters was very confusing. While the book did not really appeal to me, I was interested in learning about “Syndrome K.” This was something I had not read about in any of the other books which I have read about this era. The use of this fake illness to help protect Jewish people during WWII was amazing. I did not connect with the characters and I had to make myself continue picking up the book and reading one more chapter. There are plenty of positive reviews, though, so I would encourage you to give this one a chance and see if it appeals to you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
