About this listen

***THE UNFORGETTABLE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER***

‘Secrets, lies, treachery, and passion… I read this novel in a headlong rush’ Christina Barker Kline, number one bestselling author of Orphan Train

‘Jenoff’s prose is evocative and compelling’ The Globe and Mail

Sixteen-year-old Noa has been cast out in disgrace after becoming pregnant by a Nazi soldier and being forced to give up her baby.

She lives above a small rail station, which she cleans in order to earn her keep… When Noa discovers a boxcar containing dozens of Jewish infants bound for a concentration camp, she is reminded of the child that was taken from her.

In a moment that will change the course of her life, Noa snatches a baby and flees into the snowy night. And so begins this remarkable, harrowing story of friendship, sacrifice and survival in World War II from the international bestselling author, Pam Jenoff.

Praise for The Orphan’s Tale:

‘Wonderfully compelling… The story grips from the very first page, and the atmosphere of the circus is entrancing – you feel all the terror and thrill of the flying trapeze’ Margaret Leroy, author of The Soldier’s Wife

‘A thrilling, yet heartbreaking story of life and love, heroism and sacrifice in wartime Europe’ My Weekly

‘This is a book not to be missed’ Melanie Benjamin, bestselling author of The Swans of Fifth Avenue and The Aviator’s Wife

‘Jenoff has written a tribute to the human spirit that soars in the midst of epic despair…’ NPR

‘An emotional tale of survival and courage during a difficult time in Europe’ Suzy Approved Book Reviews

‘Jenoff keeps readers on their toes with the numerous twists and turns… as well as the emotional peaks and valleys that had me reaching for tissues more than once’ Romance Dish

Disappointing

A very drawn out account of a not very interesting story. Anecdotal information about early circus life interesting but plot very thin
