The writing just wasn't as technical as I'd prefer. Made the heavy material of the story lose weight.

*December 2022 BOTM pick!*

‘Tis the season of giving, so I’m rounding up and giving this the full five stars.

I’ve always loved historical fiction, though I haven’t read much lately. This makes me want to go on a historical fiction WWII binge… I love learning about this time period so much.

Nearly perfect. This is rare, but I actually wished for a bit more detail/depth in certain areas (especially the ending).

So, so enjoyable! Recommend!!
