Two time periods alternating in this story, but the years aren't that far apart. Charlotte has lived through the unspeakable and in the current storyline is living in New York, working in publishing, and trying to raise her child without revealing secrets from her past. In the past storyline, we are in the middle of the war and Charlotte is trying to do anything to stay alive in a bookstore where the enemy comes way to close for her comfort.
This was one of those books that I liked, but didn't love. The thing that I loved most about the book was that the two storylines took place so close together, so you almost got a what happened after while also reading the story that took place during the war. There are many times while reading stories, especially that take place during a war that end and I want to know more than what the book presents. This book had the chance to answer the questions of what happens to a person after war interrupts their life.
