I love historical fiction, especially when I learn something new. This book was about the people who were forgers for the resistance during WWII. Although the characters were fiction I felt as if I knew their stories. Eva and Remy’s story was my favorite. Their connection was strong from the start and I loved how their relationship evolved throughout the story. Eva’s mother was a tough character for me. I understood where she was coming from but how she handled some situations was difficult for me to understand. This was my second Kristin Harmel book and it did not disappoint. I read this as a buddy read with a few other people and I liked our chat at the halfway point, and looking forward to our chat at the end. As I was reading this I was reminded a lot of The Nightingale, which is one of my favorite historical fiction books of all time. I would definitely recommend this book for fans of Kristin Hannah and historical fiction fans. ~Maria

Tyskarna har invaderat Frankrike och folket lever i ständig skräck. När Evas pappa blir bortförd av tyskarna för att han är jude tvingas Eva och hennes mor på flykt. Eva och hennes mor hamnar i en liten stad nära gränsen till Schweiz och där hittar Eva ljuset i mörkret, möjligheten till motstånd. 

En oerhört gripande och spännande bok. Den är oerhört bra men jag varnar er den får tårarna att rulla av lycka och sorg. Rekommenderar starkt denna bok baserad på en sann historia om en kvinna under andra världskriget. Definitivt läsvärd!

Really interesting to learn about forgery and the french resistance under German occupation. I felt like the plot was a bit formulaic, but overall an enjoyable read.
