Jun 28, 2013 Jennifer rated it it was amazing

I loved this book, however when the author switched to the 1942 perspective it was sometimes difficult to understand since it was in third person. I never knew about this horrific tragedy in France. I thought it was written beautifully and I empathized with the characters.
