Beginning was a bit slow for me but once it really begins to pick up, it does not stop. 
Both narratives blend together seamlessly in the final arc; everything comes full circle.
One of my favorite epilogues ever written; really pulled on the heart-strings.

This was a pretty heavy read but a beautiful story of the strength, resilience, and intelligence of women in war time.
