This book reminded me so much of Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. This heartbreaking time period and the stories that come out of it are haunting and I think Kristin Hannah managed to capture that and imbue a sense of beauty in this story telling amid the horror and atrocity. This book is not easy, but it is beautiful.
