She freezes; it's an image of a book she hasn't seen in more than sixty years--a book she recognizes as \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Lost Names\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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 does she have the strength to revisit old memories? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris and find refuge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone, where she began 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 Rémy, 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Lost Names\u003c\/i\u003e will become even more vital when the resistance cell they work for is betrayed and Rémy disappears. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn engaging and evocative novel reminiscent of \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Girls of Paris\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Alice Network\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Lost Names \u003c\/i\u003eis a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of bravery and love in the face of evil.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKristin Harmel is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of more than a dozen novels including \u003ci\u003eThe Forest of Vanishing Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Lost Names\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Room on Rue Amélie\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Sweetness of Forgetting\u003c\/i\u003e.
