When Germany invaded Poland, bombers devastated Warsaw - and the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into the empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the Zabinskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts.

Very Disappointing, Terrible Narration

Compelling story that suffers from its POV…

Oh how different this story could’ve been if it had been written through the eyes of Antonina! Instead, it reads like a dry textbook or thesis, which ultimately does the story a great disservice. The only thing that got me through these pages was the narration. If I’d been reading it without it, I would’ve given up long before the halfway point.

More than 2,000 men, women, and children are on board. Here on the first-class promenade is millionaire John Jacob Astor, who hopes his return from Egypt with his pregnant teen bride will invite a minimum of media attention. And here, in the third-class common room, a beautiful Lebanese refugee, on her way to family in Florida, discovers first love. And there in the distance, shrouded in darkness, an ancient iceberg lies patient, awaiting its encounter.

A favorite no matter how many times I’ve read it or listened to it…

This has been one of my favorite Titanic novels as I absolutely love its presentation on the written page in verse. Incredibly creative! The audio version also did not disappoint. I highly recommend reading along while listening to appreciate fully the written art that’s on each and every page.
