Ohhh my heart. Such a great book. Fantastic character development. The WWII-based storyline, from different characters' point of view, was so well done, just seamless. If you're looking for an absorbing summer read, pick this one up. Given the subject matter, there will be dark parts, but the writing is beautiful and you'll be hooked.

cw : viol; meurtre; torture; guerre; etc.
Ne faites pas comme moi.. ne vous fiez pas au fait que ça soit un livre extrêmement populaire dont tout le monde parle en positif. Sans dire les problèmes du livre.
Je ne connaissais pas les cws.. J'aurai dû me renseigner avant, c'est ma faute..
Au bout de nombreuses pages, je me sentais mal à l'aise, j'avais un doute, je me disais qu'il y allait avoir des choses horribles (vu les dates, l'Histoire, j'étais préparée à ça), mais c'était encore pire.
Bref, je n'ai pas continué ma lecture.
Apparemment ce qui m'a moi dérangée dans ce livre va être supprimé pour l'adaptation de la mini-série de Netflix. J'espère !!!!!!

cw : rape; murder; torture; war; etc.
Don't be like me... don't be fooled by the fact that it's an extremely popular book that everyone talks about positively. Without mentioning the problems with the book.
I didn't know about cws.. I should have research before, it's my fault..
After many pages, I felt uneasy, I had doubts, I told myself that there were going to be horrible things (given the dates, the History, I was prepared for that), but it was even worse.
In short, I didn't continue reading.
Apparently what bothered me in this book is going to be removed for the adaptation of the Netflix mini-series. I hope !!!!!!

I read a lot of WWII historical fiction and have never been bored by it…until now. A cover quote said “Reads like a thriller”. Nope, it doesn’t. This book is 530 pages long and it wasn’t until the last 80 or so pages that I got that couldn’t-put-it-down feeling, though I’m not sure it’s because I was finally hooked or because I was almost finished. It was beautifully written, there was nothing I couldn’t picture…but it made the book feel unending. I did like most of the characters and the chapters were blissfully short so there are some saving graces but overall this book didn’t do it for me.
