LOVED Isabelle. Appreciated the character development of Vianne. Sad but interesting view into the women’s silent efforts of WWII. Kristin has become my all time favorite author

4.5

A pesar de que me tomó meses leerlo y pensar en abandonarlo, terminé devastada. 

Como todo libro ambientado en la 2da Guerra Mundial es inevitable no llorar con la historia y reflexionar en lo que han pasado todas esas personas.
