Omg was the ending so sad and depressing, but also so inspiring. This was such an interesting and important story, to read about these women who have been forgotten from the war and all that they did. The story or family and friendship and survival was just so beautiful.

Edited to add: this is a very heavy book but I think worth it in the end, even though it could’ve been a few chapters longer.

Seriously though… what a good story. Listened to it on audio and even my husband enjoyed it- he’s not a reader.
