"Why are we so hard on each other? I wonder. Hadn't the world already given us challenges enough?
"'Going together once more.' I say. I let them lead me slowly from the museum, feeling the unseen hands that guide us."
This book offered an interesting perspective during WWII. It follows two ladies, one is a young woman who's family kicked her out since she was pregnant out of wedlock, and another of a circus performer who's family disowns her once she marries a German officer. There were lots of twists and turns in this story, but ultimately it hasn't been my favorite read. There were many devastating parts, and the ending I could not have predicted.

Like I said, an excellent enchanting read about unlikely friendships, the circus, and secrets set in the time of World War 2, with definite elements of Water for Elephants circus life.

I always enjoy a good historical fiction, especially based around the Holocaust, this one was okay. I found some parts weren’t fleshed out in a way I found complete. Overall not a bad book, but not a recommendation.
