Devoured this book so quickly getting so involved in the characters. Loved the historical fiction, story of how you can be affected harshly by adversity but you have the choice to make your future better too. Lots of heartache for sure, but beautifully written. I have read The Things We Cannot Say too. Oh, loved the heroism of the women in this too... and the strength they found in each other. Thanks for the great read!

Excellent. So well-written, I couldn’t put it down.

Weirdly, one of the narrators was the guy who narrated Demon Copperhead, which I finished pretty recently. I didn't recognize his voice at first because he used a totally different accent but I found similarities with the way he pronounced certain vowel sounds, and the specific way his voice went up at the ends of some sentences that weren't questions. I looked it up, thinking they might be related or from the same town or something. Nope. It was the same guy! This was probably the single most exciting part of the book for me. I can't say there was anything wrong with it but it was just okay. I don't think it's a must read by any means, but if it's there and you're bored, and you like historical fiction set in WWII, why not?

It isn't often I read a book and wish it would just go on and on. Beautifully written, it is simple to become enthralled with each of the characters and lose yourself in the writing.
