“Sometimes showing grace breaks us before it heals us.
What a surprising treat this one was! Wonderful story, told in the form of letters - about such an fascinating topic. A young woman, much to her own dismay, is assigned to a POW camp of Germans - because she speaks multiple languages and she's able to both read/translate their mail but also teach them English.
The reaction of the town to the POW camp was interesting too. Played out mainly through the local newspaper but also, again, relayed through letters, there are a lot of opinions and not a lot of compassion when it comes to the held men. This was a well written, well paced read and I loved it!
