The Warsaw zoo in WW2 and the Zookeeper's wife's role in supporting hundreds of people fleeing to safety via the zoo. I haven't seen the movie but assume it's better than the book. It should have been written more like a novel and less like paper. I got sick of hearing things like "maybe she wore her spotted dress with the lace collar". Just tell me she wore it. "She would have seen fixtures popular during the 1930s". Just tell me she saw them. 😆 Some readers had issue with the author going off on great tangents. I found them mostly interesting but they didn't really fit well with the story.
