Emotional and beautifully written. WWII can be a tough setting to write in and Kristin Hannah mastered it. Just enough detail and development to keep the plot and characters moving while telling an impactful story of resilience. The end was heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time. 
I take away a half point because it was a very slow start for me but the middle and end cruised.

An incredibly well written WWII story. Not an easy read of course,  but  my favourite WWII story I’ve read to date. Also the first book ever to make me properly cry - the writing really draws you in and connects you with the time and the characters. Definitely recommend

i loved this novel so much it hurts. i wasn't expecting to read it as fast as i did, buy i had to it was THAT good. every character was interesting to me, and the plot was perfect. i'm glad there is more awareness being brought upon the WOMEN who struggled and fought to survive through this war. not only men were apart of war people! i would definitely pick this up again, and i can't wait to see the film.

"how can i start at the beginning, when all i can think about is the end?"
