This book was excellent. I thought the beginning was slow then Bam it took off and I couldn't put it down. Don't read this if you don't want to cry.

There are no words for this book. I typically cant stand historical fiction (I get really bored and its hard to keep reading) but my friend recommended this one so I said I'd give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. I cried a few different…

Very well written! One of many WW I I historical fictions about women involved in defeating the enemy that I have read. Found this one to be most involved emotionally and mentally, and most revealing in atrocities they faced. My first read…

The first 10 hours was drawn out, but the last 3 hours were good. It was a story I’ve read and watched before.

What an amazing story. This book along with “The Book of Lost Names” and “All the Light we Can Not See” is the trifecta of WWII historic fiction. Stories of humanity and perseverance…just what we need in current times

I could not put this book down. A very good read that did a great job of tackling the complexities of relationships, especially during times of extreme hardship (WWII.) Highly recommend.

This book was seriously amazing. I could not put it down. I heard about it through TikTok as one of the best reads and it seriously is. I wish I could read it again for the first time!

This was a beautifully written book. I wouldn't have chosen this read personally but I'm part of a book club and I'm really glad I read it. Very heart wrenching.

I don't think there is a book by Kristin Hannah that I don't love! This book is no exception. This is a beautiful story about love, courage and hardship during World War II. Often brutal and difficult to read, it makes the reader aware of…

This was very difficult read due to the horrors of WWII, but it was very well researched and well written. It brought me to tears on a few occasions and it was hard to put it down as I was very invested in the characters.

An exceptionally brutal read, but worth it. The relationship between the sisters is the beating heart of this book, and while both of them will, at times, drive you up the wall (in completely different ways), their struggle to be true to…

This was the first Kristin Hannah book I read and I was hooked. I was so drawn in that at night I thought my husband was a nazi soldier.

I know I’m in the minority but I didn’t like it. Took 300 pages for it to get interesting.

Set during the Second World War, this novel sets itself apart. The author managed to have the characters evolve as war unfolded; emotions were raw and they came alive. The pace was just right and the plot carefully conceived. This is a…

Couldn’t it it down, first Kristin Hannah book and I was totally immersed in this. I don’t usually read historical fiction, so I learned a few things and found a few parts hard to read.Have recommended to many.

This book was not the kind of book I usually read, although I enjoy period pieces and historical fiction, the subject matter is dark. One sister lives an idyllic life in a small French village with everything to lose, and the other sister…
