Once again, another amazingly written WWII historical fiction novel that taught me something new. Although this book focuses on the work of forgers during the war, it reminded me a bit of The Nightingale. It wasn’t quite as intense, but this definitely wasn’t fluffy either.
I love how the non-linear timeline left so many questions, that were slowly revealed as the story unfolded. I quickly found myself immersed in the story and I didn’t want to stop reading. Be prepared for this story to take over your emotions for a wild ride, I definitely shed a few tears along the way.
