I don’t think I’m giving away anything by saying that this book is sad. Set during World War 2 and largely narrated by a woman captured by Nazi officers, it is a heavy read. I was drawn in by the characters and storytelling, but it was sometimes tough to push through a lot of technical & detailed information. Overall, I’m glad I read this book but I don’t know how often I’ll want to reach for it.
