I received a free copy of this novel through a Goodreads giveaway. The novel is a light and compelling read, which is both its strength and weakness. It raises intriguing questions about the lines between bystander and resister and collaborator, but doesn’t provide enough character development to grapple thoroughly with them.

The only thing I didn’t understand was the ages of the older characters and why this wasn’t just written as if before 2019 so the older people could have established and clear and reasonable ages
