While this is a fictionalized story based on pieces of the real “Postmistress”, this highlights yet another WW2 story you probably haven’t heard before of brave and sacrificing individuals trying their best to not let Hitler win. I had not heard about efforts to free intellectuals and artists at the beginning of the war prior to this.

This is a solid three star book. I enjoyed reading, though it was slow at points, but it is not a book that is particularly memorable. I liked that it was based on a real person and found the information about Vichy France , though I would have liked a little more history on that front. I also liked the ending. Parts of the book started into formulaic romance so liked the deviation.

After reading The Nightingale and All the Light we Cannot see, I think it’s hard to compare. I got this book through BOTM and still enjoyed the read, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to a friend.
