It took me a while to get into but by the end I adored this story. Not many books have made me cry but I did tear up at the end; it was incredibly emotional and there was so many heartbreaking scenes. My favourite character was definitely Vianne - she felt like the most realistic. I also learnt so much from this book, from the resistance to collaborators, and the treatment of French citizens during the War.
I’ll definitely be picking up more from Kristin Hannah!
