It's set in World War II, you know it won't end happily ever after, but this book just rolled on and on with joie de vivre and hope, silver hope like the 'spilt mercury' which is what the ocean looks like to Maddie's perspective when she's high in...

“I felt like one who wants to trap and cage a little bird, and after years of waiting and luring and baiting finds that she must do no more than hold out her hand, and the finch lands on her finger and does not fly. You scarcely dare to move. It rests on your hand whole and free, foolishly trusting and infinitely courageous. It will never be more beautiful.”
