liferhi_inspired's review against another edition
Once again, another amazingly written WWII historical fiction novel that taught me something new. Although this book focuses on the work of forgers during the war, it reminded me a bit of The Nightingale. It wasn’t quite as intense, but this definitely wasn’t fluffy either.
I love how the non-linear timeline left so many questions, that were slowly revealed as the story unfolded. I quickly found myself immersed in the story and I didn’t want to stop reading. Be prepared for this story to take over your emotions for a wild ride, I definitely shed a few tears along the way.
