Beginning was a bit slow for me but once it really begins to pick up, it does not stop. 
Both narratives blend together seamlessly in the final arc; everything comes full circle.
One of my favorite epilogues ever written; really pulled on the heart-strings.

This was a pretty heavy read but a beautiful story of the strength, resilience, and intelligence of women in war time.

 For some reason, this book really droned on for me and felt incredibly long. The story is told from the perspective of two women and two different timelines. While Eve's perspective was enthralling, riveting, and fast-paced, I absolutely despised reading Charlie's perspective. 
This is a very specific pet peeve of mine, but why did Charlie have to be good at math as one of her defining characteristics? This added nothing to the story and Charlie never really relied on her mathematical abilities except to calculate tips and keep track of the money throughout their travels. The analogies of 'solve for x' were overused and frankly used incorrectly. Also, Charlie supposedly studied mathematics in university and when given the opportunity to talk about something she was passionate about with Finn she chose the Pythagorean theorem? Of ALL the beautiful mathematical theorems, results, and proofs... she chose the Pythagorean theorem? I really wish authors would stop writing about mathematics with a basic high school understanding. Eve and Finn are the saving grace of this novel and their story lines kept me reading until the end.

Historical fiction is usually not my bag, but I loved this book. I listened to the audio book and enjoyed so much the story about two women working through anger, pain, and responsibility for war. Great catharsis and a little bit of romance. Obviously, this book deals with some heavy topics so watch out!
