This book is incredible! Told from four viewpoints, three young refugees trying to flee to safety during WWII and one pompous German soldier, their stories converge to a little known historical event. The harsh realities of youth caught in a war will stay with you. This book is heartbreaking and I could not put it down. Highly, highly recommend.
