About this title

From Library Journal:

In the final tragic days before the fall of the Warsaw ghetto, four women undertake to smuggle the jewels of murdered Jews to Switzerland, to be used to aid those Jews who live through the war. The grueling struggle of these four women to survive the war makes for an exciting beginning to this novel. Great care is given to the women's development as individuals as well as to their relationships with each other. As the novel moves into the postwar period, the lives of these women become sketchy; they fade into the background as the story loses its historical focus and becomes a drama of murder and mystery. Yet, the traps are laid in the solid first half, and though the ending is very predictable, readers will want to follow through to the end. Lydia Burruel, Mesa P.L., Ariz.
