Critics Review
A great read . . . beautiful and evocative . . . an intelligent, thrilling novel, and one which will stay with me for a long time
This is a story of amazing courage. Beautifully written, moving and page-turning . . . an extraordinary novel that has stayed with me long after I turned the final page
A different aspect of the Second World War to any I’ve read before . . . I found it equally fascinating and shocking, but was transfixed from the first to the last page and I can’t recommend it highly enough. A story that was both heartbreaking and compelling, yet ultimately uplifting. I loved it
