Virginia and Violette are characters that you will think about long after you finish reading this book. In essence this book asks the question: what do you do when the world gets turned upside down? For Virginia that meant holding onto the love she had for her husband and doing everything she could to stay with him, even if that meant forgoing an opportunity to escape. For Violette it meant embracing her defiant will and choosing to find justice what was taken from her French family.
Safety was set aside by both women as they each embraced the various means by which they could contribute to the Resistance. Virginia found that hiding wasn't enough and Violette found that she had more to give than sulking in her grief and despair. This book was gripping in all the ways that matter. Robuck shows her brilliance in both the depth of her research and her understanding of the human will.

I received a copy of this title via NetGalley.

I didn't realize going in that these women actually existed. That makes the story so much more heartbreaking. Such brave women.

3.5 stars. Very confusing at times because both main characters have V names. But I did like the book for the most part.
