Sat and read it on the plane home from holiday, it was okay, I only carried on reading it cause it was the last in the trilogy. It wasn’t so much about Judith but more about her mum. I would have liked to have known more about how she copied at the end of the war and meeting her husband. Overall a good book covers very dark emotions, and I wonder who won in the end? 3.5/5

I don't think I was in the mood for this - well written, but it dragged
