Not my favorite Kristin Hannah book but was a well-done story in a popular genre (WW2 historical fiction). I like how it centers around the resilience of multiple female characters and the intertwining of their plots was cool. The writing is descriptive and immersive. It didn’t blow me away & I wish there was more commentary or themes, but I like the action-packed plot. I can’t comment on the historical accuracy but i enjoyed this for what it is.
