I adored this book. I listened to it for my book club and was blown away. The women who narrated it brought a whole new life to the characters that were already so well established that it truly felt like I was stepping into real people's lives and was experiencing what they did. I have never had any interest in WW2 outside of learning about it in school, but this novel gave me a beautiful and well researched perspective on a side of the war I never even knew about. I can say that without a doubt this is one of the best books I have ever read and I recommend it to everyone.
