I enjoyed the book. The transition between years and locations was easy to follow. It is a believable fictional representation of WW2 era, and has a happyish ending.

Well-written story that goes back and forth between Hitler’s 1938 invasion of Austria and 1989 United States. While this is quite light, considering the topics, it was a very good read.

Beautiful! Heartwarming! I loved this novel. It skips between 1939 Austria and 1989 California. The characters were bold, smart, strong, and interesting. I was swept up in their stories and the present day mystery about the stamp and letter. Once I reached the second half of the book, I could not put it down. If you love World War II fiction, mysteries, and love stories, I highly recommend this book!

A warm-hearted story about brave, resilient people and the legacies they leave to those who come after them. No graphic holocaust scenes but some language.
