I nearly quit the book early in, because it got to such a slow start. But then I could not set it down! Absolutely fantastic, a piece of history that I had not looked at before, the French resistance. The humanity brought to the experiences, the empathy one cannot help but feel, I don't think I can ever look at that piece of history the same again. And that's even after having visited concentration camps.
