The books are beautifully written…however life is too short to read that much sadness, violence, and horrors beyond words. It’s mostly fiction, yet don’t expect a happy ending.

Great book

Author does a great job developing the 3 main female characters so we care enough to keep reading. But plot details matter too, especially when writing about events as well known as those of WW2. Midway a character reports he lost a wife and 2 children but late in the story is described as being college aged “about twenty or so.” Most annoying is the way the 2 lead female characters act in ways that defy reason, especially in the second half of the book.

This book was well written and quite intriguing. I would recommend this book. The characters were well developed and the story was interesting from start to finish.

This is a wonderful book with such memorable characters. An element of intrigue, lots of unpredictable encounters with unanticipated outcomes. Really enjoyed reading it and trying to figure out how all the facets of the story would come together.

This book is not for a person with even the slightest minutiae of intelligence. The ending contradicts the resolve of the characters who struggle throughout the story. Also, there are several details that are ignored in order to quickly end (thank god) the terrible pain the author was obviously in while she wrote this travesty.

I couldn’t put it down towards the end . Lots of twists & full of mystery and suspense.

I love this book! I am new to this author, but I will keep reading her books! Every day ordinary women who sacrificed to help others.

Full of plot holes, both main characters infuriating stupid.

This was an interesting subject, but Jenoff’s plot points were implausible and handled in a sophomoric style.
