I was hooked right from the beginning. It's a dual timeline but there is very little in the present. I really enjoyed the voice of the narrator in the present day storyline and almost wished there had been a bit more present day.
I was very invested in the characters and really wanted to see what choices they made. It gave me a lot to think about as well. The two sisters took different views about what was happening. I wondered how much my view was colored because I knew the outcome. Would I have felt differently if I was in that situation? For example one sister thought everything would be over once the Germans occupied France and I wonder if she was just fooling herself or if she truly believed that.
Honestly, I've been getting a little tired of WW2 books but this felt like a fresh take on it. I don't know if it was because it took place in German occupied France which I haven't read a lot about it. I found it very interesting as I wasn't aware of some of the things that happened there.
The author did a great job of drawing you into the story and although there were parts that were difficult to read, I think she did a great job of telling the story without getting too graphic.
That said, there was a lot of heavy subject matter. A young child is shot, a woman is raped repeatedly although it is not graphic, and then there is the descriptions of the concentration camps.
There is also some language - approx 7 uses of blasphemy, F-word 3 times, approx 20 other profanity.
I would highly recommend this book, even though I did shed a few tears at the end and I don't normally like book that make me cry!
