This book was so beautiful. It made me  sad, mad, happy at times. I’ve also never learned about this side of WWII with with the East Prussians, a people who don’t like the Germans or Russians, and just want to be free and safe. While it is historical fiction, the story itself is based on true events, and I appreciated learning more about it.
