I loved this book. At first it felt slow but after the book reached its climax point I could NOT put it down I needed to finish it. I felt for the characters like they were real. This is a must read.

An amazing book! Ha me hooked from the first to the last page. The author has a wonderful writing style that is fluid and enjoyable to read. The book is a real page-turner that you can hardly put down. What is particularly impressive is how much you learn about history. The author has the ability to describe the time in which the story takes place very vividly. The characters are so endearing and detailed that you quickly take them to your heart. It's a real shame when the story ends, because you really want to find out more about them.

The book is not only exciting, but also very touching and emotional. It has a depressing effect and often made me sad. Despite these heavy themes, it is an unforgettable reading experience that will stay with you for a long time.
