Observing a fictional family, their friends & an exploitating lover, brought their horrific life experiences to life.
Difficult to say you 'enjoyed' such a book, but definitely appreciate how this brings historical experiences to life & helps you to reflect on the current world wars & individuals experiences that are happening today.
The audio book was fantastic. Definitely recommend to others.
Thanks to Netgalley for letting me to listen to the audio book & provide this review.
