Description
Based on the author’s own family letters, Send for Me tells the story of Annelise, a young woman in prewar Germany. Growing up working at her parents’ popular bakery, she's always imagined a future full of delicious possibilities. Despite rumors that anti-Jewish sentiment is on the rise, Annelise and her parents can’t quite believe that it will affect them; they’re hardly religious. But as she falls in love, marries, and gives birth to her daughter, the dangers grow closer. Soon Annelise and her husband are given the chance to leave for America, but they must go without her parents, whose future and safety are uncertain.
Two generations later in a small Midwestern city, Annelise’s granddaughter, Clare, is a young woman newly in love. But when she stumbles upon a trove of the letters her great-grandmother wrote from Germany after Annelise's departure, she sees the history of her family’s sacrifices in a new light, leading her to question whether she can still honor the past while planning for her future.

Send for Me by Lauren Fox is a World War Two historical fiction novel perfect for fans of We Were the Lucky Ones. The work is based on the real life of Fox’s grandparents who are fictionalized in the book as the couple Anneliese and Walter, both Jews fleeing from the Nazis. This book follows Lise and Walter from their time in Germany to the new home within the United States and is highlighted with beauty, tragedy, and above all else, family. I greatly enjoyed this book!
Just finished #SendForMe by Lauren Fox. It’s a quiet, beautifully moving book that switches between multiple generations of a Jewish family in Germany and Wisconsin. Really poignant and timely given the separation of families happening now. Loved & read it in a day. 💕 Thank you to @netgalley and Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group for my ARC. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
