Room in the Heart

By Sonia Levitin

Book Overview

Told from several points of view, this novel reveals how life in Copenhagen was soiled by the Nazi occupation and how the Danes fought back with courage and kindness. Julie lives with the constant, nagging fear that her family will be sent to a concentration camp. Niels can't stand the brutish, arrogant Nazi soldiers and finds himself drawn to the Danish resistance. When Niels learns of the Nazi plot to round up all of Copenhagen's Jews, he is dominated by a single thought: rescue. Julie wonders how she will endure so many good-byes, especially to Niels. This riveting read is based on the true story of how thousands of Denmark's Jews were saved from the Nazis.

Thrilling, adventurous, amazing!!!

Room in The Heart is about a Jewish girl named Julie and her friend, Niels. When the Jews start getting rounded up, Niels does everything he can to save his friend Julie, but when it's time to go he realizes that she's becaome much more than a friend to him and that he doesn't want to say good-bye. This is my favorite book of all time! There's a little romance and it was so thrilling! I simply couldn't put it down! Room in the Heart is so compelling and adventurous anyone who says it's boring is entirely wrong! I hope a sequel is written. I love Room in The Heart! Don't miss out!

Excellent, heartfelt, tear-jerker of a book!

"Room in the Heart", from the very beginning was nothing but excellent. I've never read a book that had so much control over me. Combined with truth, love, and saddness, this book left me in tears. I HIGHLY reccommend it to ALL!
