Inscrivez-vous à LibraryThing pour découvrir si vous aimerez ce livre Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. A fictional story with a factual background. A beautiful story that is difficult to read, because I know that things like this happened. What do you do when all your choices are bad? My heart ached for these two sisters, and for occupied France, and all the victims of the Holocaust. It just missed five stars for me because it dragged slightly in the middle. Kristin Hannah is/was a Romance author, and there were a few hints of that in the writing style, which also jarred a bit. But overall a very good read.

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!
