Wow. This book is an absolute masterpiece.  It was hard to read at times because of the horrible events that took place during WWII and because of the things the characters had to experience but it was a beautifully written book that was hard to put down. 

It taught me so much about WWII and from a perspective you don't typically think or hear of in regards to WWII (women and France). 

I would definitely recommend being in a good headspace before reading this book due to the difficult topics covered. 

Heartbreaking yet beautifully written. I will likely read this book again and will be thinking of it in the years to come.

Lovely book. It’s very easy to read through the chapters, even from the beginning I was hooked. Even though you know what the book is about, the rough outline of world war 2, there were many moments where I gasped and was baffled at what was happening. The story is written very well, I loved the characters. Reading the book brought up a wide range of emotions, anger, sadness etc. It was truly a lovely book to read.

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.

This book devastated me. The plot is so intricately woven together, the female protagonists are both incredibly brave and interesting, the historical pieces are flawlessly researched and rendered. I hadn’t considered the war from this many perspectives or through the different scenarios that unfolded in the course of this novel. I wept for the bravery, the sacrifice, and the love that encompassed WW2 and that this novel highlights.
