“Bristling with perils, subterfuge, bribery and psychological depth” is how Cynthia Ozick describes this “prodigiously ambitious” novel by acclaimed author Julie Orringer… based on Varian Fry’s heroic mission in 1940 to rescue the creme de la creme of European genius including many Jews, who were desperate to flea the Nazis.”

Best to read the book but you can supplement it with the interesting though somewhat more fictionalized Netflix series, “Transatlantic.”
