I absolutely loved this book. It started a little slow and I wasn’t sure where it was heading so it took me a bit to get fully invested (hence it not quite being a 5 star read) but once I did it was excellent. The use of quotes in it was also beautiful. One of the best historical fictions I’ve read in a long time possibly ever. It was a beautiful testament to the importance of literature and education, particularly in the fight against fascism.
