It's not about reading to impress anyone else. It's about reading for the sheer enjoyment of it all...
This story kept me riveted the whole way. And unlike another of Kristin Hannah's books - (I won't name it because I'm sure it's a favorite of many) that I read and liked right until the last chapter because it seemed rushed, forced, and too tidy, - this book had a very satisfactory ending for me. I learned some things, as well, about WWII that I don't think we tend to remember and that we should never forget. Wow, I'm rambling... sorry. I just finished this so it's all very fresh in my head and heart, and I would recommend it highly as perhaps this author's best book yet.
