This was an emotional read. Two sisters doing what they think is right to get through the war. One trying to save children and living with the enemy. The other joining the resistance and rescuing pilots.

Wow! I didn’t think I could ever enjoy a historical fiction but this book proved me so wrong! This story about two sisters living through WWII in France was a work of art. The characters felt real and there was several times on the way to and from work where I audibly gasped from what happened in the audiobook. Even if you don’t like historical fiction, I recommend this book!!!!!

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.
