Picked up this one on the recommendation from a family member. A well written story, interweaving the lives of a French girl and a German boy in the years leading up to and through WWII. The scenes that moved through my head while reading (listening, as I picked up the audiobook version) speak to the vivid descriptions of the characters, places, and times in this book. This genre is not one I thought I would enjoy, but this is the third or fourth book set in Europe during the 1930s-1940s that I've read lately and I really enjoyed it.

3 1/2 star. Easy read, I love St. Malo and interesting story but I don't absolutely love/ enthralled by it for some reason.

Really powerful storyline. It gives reader vivid imagery of the strength and resilience of the heroine.
