I probably have reread this book over 10 times in the course of having it. The plot is truly amazing and good for any types of readers of all ages too. You can relate to the main character the feeling of wanting to be free, safe, and loved without being burden with the struggles of life. I won’t spoil anything here but if you love WW2 books along with family growth this is definitely the pick. This book keeps all ages entertained so older people won’t be bored with childish themes and younger kids won’t struggle with the theme nor words.
