This is one of my favorite Danielle Steel books of all time. I’m pretty sure this was the book that got me interested in the Holocaust and WW2. I read this book way before I started book reviewing and to get all my own books read and reviewed, I’m starting with some well-loved Danielle Steel. I decided to start with this one because I love it so much. 

The love story between Beata and Antoine was so beautiful and one of my favorite things about this book. Several times I would just have to put the book down and cry. They were through so much but the love they had for each other never wavered in the slightest. It was a very beautiful love story and I think anyone who reads it will love it too.

I think one of the best things about this book was the main character, Amadea, who was Beata and Antoine’s daughter. She went from being a nun to joining the resistance. That is one of the strangest pipelines to read about but I suppose anything is possible in WW2. 

I think I’m going to leave this review right here. This is one of those books where you want to experience it all with no spoilers. If anybody is interested in WW2 with a bit of romance, I think this is the book for you. It is one of Danielle Steel’s best books, in my opinion.
