WWII fascinates me. I don't know why. It was such a terrible time but most of my favorite books take place during that time period. Maybe it's because my grandparents (and some aunts & uncles) survived the war. My family survived and know I'm addicted to reading what could have been their fate. 
 This book wasn't perfect. There were some random parts of the wording of sentences that bothered me but nothing that truly stuck in my mind. 
 I loved that this book was about strong women during the war. I loved that it took place in France. The writing was beautiful, the story was heartbreaking, and I loved every single minute reading about Sophie & Isabelle.
