The Last Train to London

by Unknown Author

The acclaimed author of 'Beautiful Exiles' presents her finest novel yet, a pre-World War II tale echoing 'Orphan Train' and 'All the Light We Cannot See', focusing on the Kindertransports that rescued thousands of children from Nazi-occupied Europe, guided by a courageous woman who aided their escape. In 1936, the Nazis seem merely boorish to fifteen-year-old Stephan Neuman, a wealthy Jewish family's son and aspiring playwright, until they seize power. Hope emerges in the Truus Wijsmuller, a Dutch resistance member, risks her life smuggling Jewish children to safety. After Britain opens its doors to at-risk refugees, she brazenly approaches Adolf Eichmann to save children like Stephan, his brother Walter, and ofie-Helene on a perilous journey to an uncertain future abroad.
