The lives of two young lovers are fractured when the Nazi regime invades Prague. 
 Years later across an ocean, a moment of realization when two strangers catch a glimpse. 
 Fate is giving Lenka and Josef another chance. The Lost Wife examines each facet of their lives. 
 I really enjoyed reading The Lost Wife. This genre is one that I always enjoy reading. The specific time period hits really close to home so I was able to make an instant connection. I immediately was drawn into the lives of Josef and Lenka. 
 Told in alternating perspectives from alternating time lines, this reminded of The Time Traveler's Wife, which I thought really worked for the novel. There were times that I wasn't always connected to the characters, but I was with the story itself. But in the end, I found The Lost Wife excelled at being a historical romance.
