alidottie's review against another edition
4.0
I read another WWII book! Really didn’t mean to, but I love Lisa Scottoline and was very curious about her telling of an Italian historical fiction. It felt personal at times. I found myself connecting to the 3 main characters and I appreciated that the very sad sad parts were written in a way that wasn’t as painful as they often can be

The first 3/4 of this book dragged on and on but the ending was beautiful. I found the writing stilted at several points and the characters lacked development even with almost 500 pages.

i need to sit with this one for a while. i might just not love historical fictions that much. i definitely cried during some parts, but it’s hard not too.

This book is beautifully written but immensely heartbreaking. It was hard to put down, but at the same time, I needed several breaks to gather my thoughts.

I would like to give the book 4.5 stars because I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The ending was predictable so that’s why I would deduct 1/2 a star

The audiobook was fantastic! The two performers really brought all of the characters to life.
