Cried, which is to be expected from a historical fiction book set in WW2 but God, these characters and their relationships and their lives. It handles the topics of war and death so delicately. And the narrator! THE NARRATOR! I love the narrator so much, he's got such a strong personality and a beautiful way of explaining things wherein you'll still cry over the characters despite being given a warning about their demise. Will read again someday.
