An incredibly well written WWII story. Not an easy read of course,  but  my favourite WWII story I’ve read to date. Also the first book ever to make me properly cry - the writing really draws you in and connects you with the time and the characters. Definitely recommend

I know they can’t all have a happy ending but I was absolutely devastated by a particular major character’s ending and I felt like it was an injustice to the story as a whole 😞
