I'm giving it four stars because I liked the storyline. However, I struggled with the style of writing. It was too simple and lacked description. This book is not literature but more fast paced fiction. There were some historical inaccuracies that are not obvious to a person who's not familiar with World War 2 history. Otherwise it's a good book, I just wish that it was better written.

This is one of those books that wraps itself around your soul.
This isn’t just a story about war; it’s about resilience, family, sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope. I’ll be thinking about these characters for a long, long time. If you haven’t read this yet, prepare to be moved—and keep tissues nearby.
