I loved this book. It has all the easy As for me - historical fiction, WWII. Questions about character, integrity. Thought experiments around relationships, net perspectives. This was an abbreviated version, more based on history as the plot driver, of Covenant of Water.
It was dense but fairly easy to follow. I’d recommend to anyone interested in historical fiction who is interested in learning more about the OTHER side of the war.
