Smuggling Jewish children out of Nazi Germany to whichever nations will take them is a dangerous mission, made even more dangerous after Hitler annexes Austria and more countries begin to close their borders to the growing number of refugees desperate to escape . . .
A powerful novel, set in the pre-World War II era, The Last Train to London is based on the true story of the Kindertransport rescue of ten thousand children from Nazi-occupied Europe, and one brave woman who helped them escape to safety.
“An absolutely fascinating, beautifully rendered story of love, loss, and heroism in the dark days leading up to World War II, The Last Train to London perfectly captures the tension and heartbreak of the times, which feel so relevant today. It is a glowing portrait of women rising up against impossible odds to save children.” -- Kristin Hannah, bestselling author of The Great Alone, Firefly Lane and The Nightingale
