Omg was the ending so sad and depressing, but also so inspiring. This was such an interesting and important story, to read about these women who have been forgotten from the war and all that they did. The story or family and friendship and survival was just so beautiful.

This book devastated me. The plot is so intricately woven together, the female protagonists are both incredibly brave and interesting, the historical pieces are flawlessly researched and rendered. I hadn’t considered the war from this many perspectives or through the different scenarios that unfolded in the course of this novel. I wept for the bravery, the sacrifice, and the love that encompassed WW2 and that this novel highlights.
