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.

I read this book for an english class, so I was also analyzing the book.

This book is extraordinary. Although I found some parts a bit slower, the vast majority of this book kept me turning the page. I simply don’t have the words to describe the sadness, beauty, and thoughtful story told in this novel.
