i really enjoyed this! though it is historical fiction, it reads like a suspenseful thriller as the timeline jumps back and forth through WWII, slowly revealing bits of information and context as it leads to the dramatic end of the story.

Una historia triste y conmovedora sobre la segunda guerra mundial, que nos enseña que no solamente existe el blanco y el negro, también existe el gris. Sin un final feliz, más bien un final real. Una trama muy bien construida, unos personajes entrañables. Ya quiero conocer Saint Melo.
