I had to remember this was based on true events, and that it’s not fully fictional. The book was brought to my attention due to the film adaptation that is coming up, since this not my typical book grab. However, it brings a new life to the lives of individuals who lived during the time of Hilter and his fall, plus post-wars struggles and the trauma they have in years to come. My heart went out for Benita the most. Won’t have any spoilers here, but gosh how I wished she did follow what she wanted instead.
