Lovely book. It’s very easy to read through the chapters, even from the beginning I was hooked. Even though you know what the book is about, the rough outline of world war 2, there were many moments where I gasped and was baffled at what was happening. The story is written very well, I loved the characters. Reading the book brought up a wide range of emotions, anger, sadness etc. It was truly a lovely book to read.

whoever told me this is a romance novel will not see heaven. i was expecting a story about love transcending war like some kind of IDIOT and i ended up getting exactly that but in a completely different way than i was prepared for and now that ive finished it i feel like a piece of my soul is missing

This book reminded me so much of Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. This heartbreaking time period and the stories that come out of it are haunting and I think Kristin Hannah managed to capture that and imbue a sense of beauty in this story telling amid the horror and atrocity. This book is not easy, but it is beautiful.

Omg was the ending so sad and depressing, but also so inspiring. This was such an interesting and important story, to read about these women who have been forgotten from the war and all that they did. The story or family and friendship and survival was just so beautiful.
