Hmmm quite the book and not what I expected. WWII historical fiction is always of interest to me. This book seemed to follow the lines of others but veered off unexpected.

This just wasn't for me. I can see where maybe someone else might enjoy it, but to me the book felt stilted. Do not want to reread.

It's a gripping tale of the heroes of the European resistance in WW2. Quite emotional; reader beware if you are sensitive or have children. It's not graphic, but will tug at your heart.

I am a huge historical fiction fan and was excited when I got the an ARC from Netgalley.
I enjoyed this book a lot. I stayed up till 3am finishing it. I actually did not like a couple of the main characters (personal opinion not the writing) which normally turns me off a book but in this case it only made me want to finish it and see what happens to them.
I read a lot of historical fictions and sometimes one blends into another. In this case it did not. The story was unique and I did not feel like I was rereading a past read. It was well paced and I did not want to put this one down.
