I loved it from the beginning. It was a sometime sad, and emotional right. I am not usually one to enjoy historical fiction but this one got me

An insightful and emotional read into life in France during ww2. Focusing mainly on two sisters, it's a tale of how they endured the horror and did their bit for the war effort in the shadows. They were a drop in an ocean of women who were somewhat invisible yet powerful and invaluable weapons.
There were many times I almost stopped reading as it got too slow but I'm glad I persisted. Even though it's a piece of fiction, it felt very real. I've not really delved into or learnt much about how it was to be in France during that time-frame so it felt like a history lesson wrapped in a believable story. It leaves you feeling reflective, heart-broken and inspired.
