Wow! What an emotional roller coaster. I have a love/hate relationship with historical fiction because it’s so raw and sad to think about but also it is so wonderful that someone wanted to preserve the good parts of something so terrible that happened in our history. People daring to rebel against such terror is so inspiring and something we should never forget.
