內容簡介 "I have loved every minute reading this series. The Norwegian Assassin captivated my mind and heart. So little is told about the struggles of Norway during WW2. And combined with Esther's search for the family, it gave a heart wrenching insight into what it was like to be a Jewish survivor of the Nazi reign of terror."-Amazon ReviewerHer family's gone.
