My daughter recommended this fast paced and interesting book about how the Soviets deported Lithuanians (and Latvians and Estonians) from their homelands and brought them to work as prisoners/slaves in the Arctic Circle. It was a good read and an education into a little considered aspect of WWII.

I read this book around two-three years ago, I wasn't going to read it cause it was out of the norm for me I'm a particularly hopeless romantic when it comes to books, but this wasn't my usual bed-time story.

It was a really good book and it made me cry a few times but it's a good book and I'd recommend it!

This was such an amazing book, that I almost have no words, almost. This tale was inspiring, riveting and heart-wrenching all at the same time. The story is so beautiful, and different because it is about the Soviet camps, that aren't usually addressed. I especially love that there was romance, but it didn't overtake the story as some romances can. This book was so beautifully written, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes things about World War 2.
