5/30/2023 0 Comments The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff![]() ![]() She takes him in her arms and can’t let go of it. One of the babies seems familiar to her. Her journey leads to the discovery of a boxcar filled with infants. Noa looks the perfect Aryan, but her baby does not. She seeks a means to support herself, and longs for the child she is forced to give up. Noa is a troubled teenager whose pregnancy leads to her parents casting her out. Jenoff tells her tale through two alternating characters whose similarities and differences bring out the best and the worst in each. Can you imagine a Holocaust-related story that features circus performers? Can you imagine the Nazi regime, as it spreads across Europe, tolerating these vagabond entertainers? Historical facts support Jenoff’s imaginative story of hidden Jews, vulnerable women, younger and older lovers, twisting loyalties, and valiant spirits in The Orphan’s Tale, a colorful and moving dual narrative. ![]()
