Really, really good. While the tides of WWII turn away from Hungary’s favor, a young girl comes of age at a rural boarding school. Gina is young and naive, but she quickly learns the insular, oppressive environment of her school isn’t so bad compared to the chaos beyond its walls and appearances aren’t always what they seem. It’s episodic, propulsive, and a mystery until the last page!
emotional mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
