The Star Society: A Historical Novel:
"The Star Society is ambitious in scope, yet emotionally intimate. A story of sisterly love, the bond between the sisters stretched but never quite broken, as they live through the horrors of war torn Holland, then transported, in very different ways,"

"This book hooked me from the very first chapter. The Star Society by Gabriella Saab blends Hollywood glamour with the shadows of WWII in a way that feels fresh and exciting. Ada, reinvented as a rising actress in post war Los Angeles, is such a fasci"

| I loved this book so much! The publishing industry in NYC in the 60s was not for the faint of heart, and Bernadette Swift is many things, but not faint of heart. She's unapologetically herself and a fierce advocate for women, not just in the workplac ...more | |

| Such an entertaining story, and so fun and nostalgic to see so many characters from The Woman in Cabin 10 return in this book! I definitely recommend reading Cabin 10 first - you'll appreciate this book so much more if you do! ...more | |

“When she [Hania] produced a sedative and offered it to me, I shook my head in refusal. I wanted to allow myself to cry, to live fully in this moment, because as painful as it was, it meant my walls had come down in a way I hadn't permitted in a long time. The ache of love and loss pierced me to the core of my soul. And it reminded me that I was still human.

“Before the war, I thanked God for things like my family, friends, and sunshine, but if something affected those blessings, I lamented my misfortune. I had the audacity to ask God why He let rain chase away my sunshine, as if a thunderstorm were the worst thing that could happen to a girl. But far worse things could happen to a girl: getting her entire family arrested, being interrogated by the Gestapo, having no power to present whatever lay ahead. All I had was rain, and I didn't know if the sunshine would ever return. So I'd find blessings amid the thunder and lightning.

“What is life after war? Returning to the lives we left is impossible, yet creating a life anew feels nearly as insurmountable. We live, fight, and survive while the memories--and the past--endure.

“Maybe we aren't meant to leave the past behind. Maybe we're meant to bring it with us so we can join others weighed down by the same burdens, and we can carry them together. Maybe that's how we find peace.
