"The Last Song" by Eva Wiseman follows the story of a young Jewish girl named Tova during World War II. As her family faces the escalating dangers of Nazi persecution in Europe, Tova's love for music becomes a source of both solace and connection. When her world becomes increasingly perilous, she must navigate the harsh realities of survival while holding onto her hope and passion for music. Tova's journey highlights themes of resilience, the power of art in times of despair, and the strength of family bonds amid adversity, culminating in a poignant exploration of courage and hope.
