About the book:
Anna has one chance for survival-and it lies in the hands of her mortal enemy.
It's 1943 and Anna Zadok, a Jewish Christian living in Prague, has lost nearly everything. Most of her family has been deported, and the Nazi occupation ended her career as a concert violinist. Now Anna is left to care for her grandmother, and she'll do anything to keep her safe-a job that gets much harder when Nazi officer Horst Engel is quartered in the flat below them.
Though musical instruments have been declared illegal, Anna defiantly continues to play the violin. But Horst, dissatisfied with German ideology, enjoys her soothing music. When Anna and her grandmother face deportation, Horst risks everything to protect them.
Anna finds herself falling in love with the handsome officer and his brave heart. But what he reveals might stop the music forever.

My Review:
Liz Tolsma has written great historical fiction novels and her latest, "The Melody of the Soul," is her best yet in my opinion. Anna is a concert violinist; however her career has been halted by Nazi occupation in Prague. Anna is left caring for her grandmother after the rest of her family has been deported and Anna is determined to protect her grandmother and also play her violin even though it has been banned. When a Nazi officer is living beneath them, the risk is greater.
Liz has done an incredible job with historical details and bringing the time period and setting to life. Compared to the life I have lived, I cannot imagine having to life a life that so many had to years ago under Nazi rule. However, Liz has given me a vivid snapshot of what life was like and the horror and fear that Anna and so many others would have been living with in their daily lives. While Liz creates the harsh aspect of this, she also ties in hope and bright spots throughout the story, such that comes from the beauty of music and also unexpected friendships/relationships.
I highly recommend this novel to anyone whom enjoys historical fiction! To read other reviews included on this blog tour, go here!
