That is all. My heart is currently in pieces on the floor.

This is a book that will stay with you. I am very infrequently moved to tears by a book, but the ending made me cry. I've read many fictional (and non-fiction) accounts of WWII and the Holocaust. This may very well be the best fictional account I've read.

Wow. If you love historical fiction set during WW2 you need to read this. I couldn’t put it down. It evokes all of the feels. Just trust me and go read it!

Solid historical fiction, but really wish there was more to the story after they reunited.

Un libro que será fácil de olvidar para mi.
Realmente no pude conectar como me hubiera gustado con la historia, aunque el audiolibro estuvo muy bueno. sin embargo, escuchar historias inspiradas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial siempre será algo difícil y doloroso que transmitirá tristeza y pesar y eso si pude notarlo.

I know it's a little weird to call a Holocaust book "lovely", but I found this one surprisingly so. Maybe because I recently found out that I'm a tiny bit Czech Jewish, this story of Lenka and Josef, who fall in love and get married as World War II is beginning and then separate for a lifetime, believing each other is dead, really resonated with me. I recommend this one, especially anyone interested in Holocaust books, as well-rendered and poignant without being overdone.
