This was an emotional read. Two sisters doing what they think is right to get through the war. One trying to save children and living with the enemy. The other joining the resistance and rescuing pilots.

Incredible read, I struggled to work through the beginning of the book as I don’t understand French but slowly I made up words and continued on. This book made me feel so many feelings deep in my heart. So much pain for the loss that was World War 2. The characters, the growth, I cried multiple times reading this. I will be recommending to everyone!!
