I love Sepetys’s WWII fiction, but I strayed from picking up this novel because the 1950s is not my favorite historical period to read about. However a friend recommended and lent me this book, and I plowed through it in an evening! Sepetys is a great story teller, and her characters are unique and richly developed.

I seriously just loved everything about this book. It’s not a “feel good” read, but it’s just got such an optimistic end without every little thing falling into place and I just loved it.

I have to admit that I like this book the least out of all Ruta Sepetys's books. I think it's mainly because of its topic and setting. New Orleans is not as interesting to me as WWII Europe that is shown in her other books.

Agréable surprise sur ce roman jeunesse qui traite pourtant de sujets bien adultes comme la prostitution, l’abandon familial ou l’insécurité financière. L’héroïne est très adulte pour son âge et réfléchie, ce qui rend la lecture agréable malgré un rythme soutenu et beaucoup d’intrigues/personnages en parallèle à mon goût
