It is rare that a book actually slams me with a wave of emotion. This book sure did that and more. I added it as a favorite before the epilogue was up (I listened to the audiobook). As a Jewish person with roots to the places millions died, including some of my family (although I was not aware of this until a few years ago and need to learn more about who they are), Holocaust based novels mean the world to me because I feel the need to get as many depictions of that time as possible. I need to try to imagine the unimaginable and incomprehensible. And while I know this book was historical fiction, I know there were so many true stories very much similar to the heroism, love and friendship depicted in this book.
