I liked the converging timelines, but I’d hoped we’d get more from that rather than what happened. I don’t know. It was kind of a letdown. I much prefer Kate Quinn for WWII historical fiction.

Have you ever read a book that makes you consider changing the entire way you rate books?
This story is emotionally gripping. And it shows the complexity of people dragged into war. Ultimately it left me feeling like anyone who grew up in Europe in the 1940s was gyped of a decent life. This book details how WW2 affected the youth who lived through it.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves historical fiction, but also to anyone who likes good stories. Be warned though, you will not feel okay while reading it.
