Grab tissues. 

The story about love found during absolute tribulation is so profound. A tale of friendship, family, survival, humble heros, and  unexpected strength during a time of disgusting tragedy. I couldn't put it down.

It made me cry multiple times. I had no idea French people suffered so much during WW2. It was very heavy, but extremely well written.

A beautiful story about family, survival, fighting for what’s right, and coping with trauma. 

CW: this shows the realities of living in France and of being in concentration camps during WW2. Some scenes may be triggering for some readers.

It took me quiet some time to get into the book but once I did I had to know how the story ended. There were quiet a few times I cried.
