This book was too slow at the start. I had to ask my mother if it was worth finishing. She said it picks up and she wasn’t wrong. Great story with heartfelt characters.

Can I give this book 100 stars! 
I'm putting this incredible book in my 'favourite books of all time' pile. 
This intense story showed me the side of WWII that isn't mentioned as much as it should be, the brave women. What an informative and inspiring story!
