4.0

I read a lot of WWII books and yet I have never read one with characters under the leadership of Mussolini and/or in a Fascist country. History was never a strong suit for me in school simply because I would get so bored, so reading historical fiction that pays attention to including accurate facts and details is a way of learning about these events that actually holds my interest. This is a lengthy book, but it covers everything from childhood pre-war for the three main characters to adulthood. I felt that there were no holes left in the storyline, and I appreciated that I wasn't able to predict where the story was taking me or where it would end due to the the number of twists thrown in. Another thing I liked was that the author was not scared to take a difficult turn with a character in order to accurately write on the harsh reality of WWII.
