I had a hard time getting into this book but I’m glad I did. It was a roller coaster and an excellent read.

Just can't get into this even though WWII historical fiction is a genre I typically enjoy. I've tried twice and got halfway through.

I believe it's based on a true story, which is interesting. But the pacing is so slow and the back and forth between narrators is not working.

amazing story, but i found the execution to be super slow, rambling, and scattered. i’m disappointed because nancy was such an incredible woman! i do not regret reading this book because of what i’ve learned from and about nancy
