After reading great reviews on this book all year I was finally able to get it from the library (after a 4 month waitlist!). It did not disappoint. At first I felt it a bit slow because I just did not know where the story was leading to, but once all the puzzle pieces started to fit together it was a wonderful read. I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. After all of the WW2 novels I have read, the author still managed to find an interesting angle on a story. The characters in it were well developed and the story pieces just fit together so perfectly. Delightful read.
