Somewhat slow moving, but the story made me bawl several times.

I read a forward from the author about how she had lost a stillborn child, and you can definitely tell the author had experienced the loss of a child in her book.

From the author: “Loss teaches us about one of the most enduring kinds of love – the love we have for the people we will not see again. And so we come to understand what endurance is. And so we value life. And so we grow.”

The description of this book sounded good. I love historical fiction and especially WWII. But this book never grabbed me. I may try it again later.
