3.0

What a gut punch. The story in this is gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, and feels so current despite the WW2 setting. I didn't know much about what Jewish people endured in Norway during WW2. This book shares multiple perspectives: a Jewish family, a teen involved with smuggling Jews into Sweden, a taxi driver who helps the Germans arrest Jewish women and children. The translation wasn't great, but the story was compelling despite that.
