The Golden Doves

 


Josie and Arlette are working in the French Resistance as female spies.  They are on a very risky mission to track down a Nazi doctor who committed heinous crimes during World War II.  They provided so much vital information that they became known as The Golden Doves.  When they are captured, they are sent to Ravensbruck, a concentration camp.  Josie's mother is also there and a victim of this infamous doctor.  Arlette's son is with her; then taken from her for an adoption.  Their quest takes them across Europe to eventually French Guiana. Will Arlette ever reunite with her son?

It was great to learn about places Jews escaped to and re-established their lives trying to escape Nazi control.  I cannot image such a life of turmoil and oppression.  Martha Kelly tells a wonderful story based on fact.  It is joyous at times, sad and thrilling.  I highly recommend this book to historical fiction lovers who enjoy stories based on facts.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
