My first book that I’ve read by Kristin Hannah, but will definitely not be my last. This book is about France during WW2 and the Nazi invasion and occupation and the life of two sisters attempting to survive this to the other side. There are raw scenes of sexual assault, the murder of children, and an alcoholic father so be warned. I’m glad she involved those things however as often forget what war entails; violence. With both sisters being so opposite, it was lovely to see how well they connected, how much love they have for one another. I cried at the very end, just wanting to hug everyone.
