The book was as good as new and arrived in very good time for our book club. The book itself was an interesting read, despite an overly flowery style of the author. I wouldn't read any further books by this author as I think this subject is better covered in All the Light I cannot see by Anthony Doerr. That said, it still made me cry at the end.

Really irritated by he way the odd french word was introduced into the english narrative. For heavens sake: the characters are talking french rendered into english by the author, theoretically, so why the "Maman" etc? Couldn't bring myself to finish the book, it was so annoying!

Really good read that kept me interested from the beginning. I thought the characters were well described and I either loved or hated them. The story moved well through the years and by the end I didn’t want the book to finish

One of those books you just don't want to put down. A harrowing but compelling story beautifully told and cleverly written. A story of two sisters in WW2 you just won't forget. I'm looking forward to the film.
