An incredibly well written WWII story. Not an easy read of course,  but  my favourite WWII story I’ve read to date. Also the first book ever to make me properly cry - the writing really draws you in and connects you with the time and the characters. Definitely recommend

LOVED Isabelle. Appreciated the character development of Vianne. Sad but interesting view into the women’s silent efforts of WWII. Kristin has become my all time favorite author

This one was a long read, but certainly worth it. It is love, it is war, and it gives you a twist of mystery that keeps you reading each page. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. In short, I definitely would recommend this book, but buckle up for a ride because you’ll feel every emotion right alongside every character. One of the most descriptive books I’ve read with some of the best plot, even if historical fiction isn’t my favorite genres.
