This book is a fast read that was fun and sad at the same time. It was interesting to me to read a World War II book that was more on the direct aftermath of the war and looking back on it (but still fresh, sense the war ended). There aren't a lot of books that explore that so it was nice to see a fresh take. I also liked the story told in letters - that always makes a story go faster.
