I can’t praise this book enough!

With this book Martha Hall Kelly quickly became my new favorite author. I cannot recommend her books more. Absolutely mesmerizing. The good, the bad, the ugly, all of it she writes so beautifully. Read this book!!!

Couldn't put it down!

Absolutely loved this book. Wonderfully written and easily read. Three stories about different viewpoints of world war 2 and the aftermath.

Not easy but a very good read

A very difficult subject but part of our history. Not an easy read but well worth the time.

I love historical fiction, especially relating to WWII. This book is amazingly written and a fast, easy read. You will get wrapped up in the story and the characters. Get ready for a book that you cannot put down!

Moving and haunting

This book is written beautifully and tells the horrors of WWII, courage, tenacity and strength of its characters. Based on real life survivors, its haunting to learn what they endured but survived as well.

I loved The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, I typically like historical fiction-- so I thought I would try this book, it was a great read and I highly recommend giving it a go.
