This is an amazing emotional read and I think also an important read I found It really tough at times to get through but the story was amazing and the reality of the horrors that were happening at the time.

The extra information and photos at the end gave so much more depth to the story and the history behind it this is an amazing book.

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children,  previously being an avid reader. It's work of historical fiction but based on true events. The Book title tells you what is about, with a credible love story thrown in. It's very moving, sad and incredibly poignant. I can't say I enjoyed it as its content was horrific but learning through fiction is the way forward. Very moving
