Summary:
Marta Nederman has survived a Nazi concentration camp. After recovering from the experience she
meets Paul, an American soldier and they fall in love. They planned to marry, but
their plans are thrown away when Paul’s plane crashes and he doesn’t meet her
in London
Being pregnant and believing Paul is dead; Marta marries
Simon, a British diplomat. When she learns there is a Communist spy in British
intelligence she volunteers for the mission to find out who the spy is.
My Thoughts:
After reading The Kommandant’s Girl by Pam Jenoff, I was
compelled to look up Pam Jenoff on the internet. When I found out that Jenoof had written
other books and one, The Diplomat’s Wife was the follow-up to The Kommandant’s
Girl I had to read it. The heroine of The Diplomat’s Wife may not be the same
as the one in The Kommandant’s Girl, but it cleared up a lot of loose ends from
The Kommandant’s Girl, and the reader is able to find out what happened to
Emma.
I gave this book five
stars and a grade of A, because I really enjoyed this book. It pulled me right in, and it read like an
action movie. Marta is a girl you can
root for, as well as, feel sorry for.
She lived a rough life and is trying to make the world a better place
for her daughter. If you have already
read The Kommandant’s Girl by Pam Jenoff, I recommend reading The Diplomat’s
Wife. Even if you haven’t read The Kommandant’s Girl you can still read The
Diplomat’s Wife. It’s one of those books
that can be read on its own. It’s a
fantastic book.
