One of the best books I have read this year. Simply stunning. I loved the nuanced storytelling and the beautiful writing. The characters were so unique and so real.

I loved how this book told the story of World War II through the eyes of impoverished German citizens.

A gem of a book!

Beautifully written. Should be on everyone's book list. I can't believe it took me 10 years to finally read it. ...more

This book is insanely addictive. I’m not usually a reader of fiction, but to earn points during our Summer Book Challenge, I had to read a book of fiction. I chose this. I’m so glad and so devastated that I’d did.
