I haven’t felt this many emotions when reading a book in a long time. This is not a relaxing story in any way but oh my goodness it is a fantastic read. I was scared, tense, sad, angry and many other thing through the course of this book but I just had to keep reading. The characters are so full of life, I felt every emotion with them. Beautifullly written and an important story to be told.

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
