I'm ALL IN on Kristin Hannah! There was so much to adore about this book. The complex and endearing sister relationship, the French setting (love to read about places I've been!), the unique perspective on a familiar historical period. Hannah is astounding with her ability to turn the spotlight onto the people who we don't think about when we think about historic events. This story is somehow beautifully singular and universally relatable. Will be thinking of these sisters for a long long time.
