5.0

A truly emotional story about survival and love during a dark, heart-wrenching time in our history. Both sisters made me feel a roller coaster of emotions, from frustration and anger to worry and empathy. Hannah's storytelling is captivating, and though fiction and emotionally-charged, I felt that the characters were a reflection of the struggles, fear, and heartbreak that so many went through. I'm always inspired to seek out non-fictional pieces about the historical topics she covers in her novels.
