I love Walter and that's all there is to it.
There are some truly despicable characters in this book that do awful things and leave you with this horrible pit in your stomach. But there are also beautiful characters who show you there is always a car for humanity even in the worst of times.
If you enjoy historical fiction and WWII stories and are searching for a slightly different perspective, I highly recommend this one.
