The character development was excellent.  The way she developed the characters and slowly brought us to the absolute horrors of that war was very well done.  I also like the small mystery of who was the telling the story in 1995.

Loved this focus on women and their efforts during WW2–a perspective I haven’t read about yet. This was emotional and action-packed. Amazing character arcs. I always love a father redemption story. The flashing forward was a bit confusing to me at the beginning…and maybe not necessary. However, the big reveal in that final chapter was so gripping and perfect.
