Pam Jenoff has turned into a reliable source of comfort reads (WWII) for me. By now she knows how to put you in that time and place succinctly, almost like your favorite airport shoes. You put them on and you know where you are going for the journey. I did spot the villain of the story (besides the Nazis) pretty much straight away, so there is that. I liked the underground line as a venue, the downed airmen, the safe houses, false papers, train rides, walks on foot, etc. And If you'd like to read another WWII fiction that deals with a refugee ship turned away from American shores, I recommend Munich Signature by Bodie Thoene Historical fiction set in Germany and Belgium during WWII, involving the covert resistance lines helping repatriate downed airmen. Family saga between two Jewish cousins, Hannah and Lily, is also woven into the storyline. I did not like Hannah, as I dislike characters who do something stupid, even after ruminating it in their mind and knowing how foolish it is. I did NOT like some of the ending, although part of it did make me teary/choke up. The author's note at the end has some interesting titles for reference which I intend to read to learn more of the history on which this novel is based. After escaping Nazi Germany, Hanna lives with her cousin Lily in Brussels. Determined to get out of Europe, Hanna joins the Sapphire Line, a resistance organization poised to get downed airmen back to England. Micheline, a strong young woman, is the leader of the resistance network, working with her brother Matteo. I found myself reading late into the night, heavily invested in the fate of the main characters. This was a dynamic and fast paced book, set in a dangerous location. Overall, a great novel! 5 out of 5 stars. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Overall, this is a captivating and well-researched novel. I was immersed in the dangerous and heroic world of resistance fighters during Nazi-occupied Europe. The book's exploration of themes such as sacrifice, bravery, and the resilience of the human spirit resonated strongly with me.
I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction and World War II literature. ( )
