Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for providing a free audio-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a very character driven story revolving around 3 main characters Charlie, Molly, and Oliver. The story takes place during WWII while bombings and attacks are rampant. The characters are all dealing with different kinds of loss, tragedy, family issues, and trying to find their place in all of the chaos.
If you like a character driven story and a slow pace initially, I think this story will be great for you. Especially if you like this author's work. This is my first dive into Baldacci's work, and it was a little too slow with too much conversation and not enough action initially, but it picked up greatly later on in the story.
The plot started kicking off a little more around 30%, and it was depressing with many negative things happening back to back. Realistically, though, it is a WWII story, so this isn't shocking. You just wish for a little bit of hope and light for the characters. You feel for the characters throughout the story, and the author does a great job of providing a terrifying and tragic atmosphere of the time.
Listen to the author's note at the end as well as it is a great message that is noted throughout the book.
Put this one on your TBR for April as it is releasing on 4/15/25, and you won't be disappointed!
