At every opportunity I've ever had to recommend an author, Kristin Hannah is always on my list of "you have got to read her books". She captivated me when I first read Firefly Lane and then I quickly devoured every single book she has written since then. I literally started jumping up and down when I realized that NetGalley was allowing me to read this one! WAHOO.
I delved in immediately that night. The story immediately captivates you: two very different sisters during the beginning of the Nazi infiltration in France. While most of us had read stories of Nazi occupied Germany and France, Hannah offered a different perspective, told through two very similar yet different sisters. Their narratives are complicated and detailed in a way that really highlighted how much research Hannah did to keep the story historically accurate.
It was a beautiful story, full of tears and hope and suspense. You have to read it to appreciate the beauty of the story.
