OMG. That is the first thing I have to say about this. This is historical fiction, and not usually a genre that I would choose to read. I am so, so glad that I decided to stick with this and read it.
This follows the story of a young Jewish woman, Eva, during Nazi riddled France during WWII. Eva learns who she is throughout this story, and helps many Jewish children along the way.
This book will make you feel SO MUCH. I have cried and cried. The story is heartbreaking, but I feel like it is a good one to add to your list of read books. I will never regret this book, and Eva and Remy will forever live in my heart.
I think the hardest part for me with this is that, although this is a work of fiction, there are many stories just like this that were very, very real.
Heartbreaking and beautiful. I can't wait to read more by this author. If you pick this one up, be prepared to cry, and have a box of tissues.
Take the journey. I promise it is worth it.

This was a very good read. Loved the historic setting. Loved the fictional main female lead and her heroic story. The end was surprising and heart warming. I'd recommend this book.

Lots of feel goods for this book about ww2. For some reason a lot of books have been coming across my list about the horrors of the holocaust, and this one is by far the most fictional and lighter than the rest (though I wouldn't say lighthearted). I also needed something lighter than the previous ones this go around. It felt a bit removed from the violence though, and I can imagine some wouldn't like that very much.

Great story of the French Resistance fighters! I got very invested in the characters and found myself holding my breath at certain plot points.
