The plot twists....several times!

It was fantastic and the narration was so well done. I kept wondering if any of the story is true, always a good sign for me.

Loved everything about it!

From start to finish, I was hooked. Such a beautiful story and tribute to a dark time in history, that ends with so much sunshine! Loved the narrator. Loved the writing. Overall 100/10

Stirring story

Love the story woven within the history. Would definitely recommend I enjoyed hearing stories of our history

mystery

The nazi atrocities at the beginning almost made me put it down. thankfully, the majority of the book was mystery without violence

Engaging story!

I enjoyed the dual storyline and unraveling the mystery of Sophie’s story. I do wish it hadn’t started with her arrest, as I felt it spiked the impact of her story. It was a compelling read, though. The Nazi atrocities were hard to take in because we know they were so real for so many.

Great performance

So very well read! Loved the narrator’s performance. She really made you feel like you were there.

Really good story!

It’s a really interesting mix of actual history and supposition. I really enjoyed the WW2 part. I never did understand the gravity of Lacey’s storyline but it was an interesting tie to the older story line. I would highly recommend!

Brilliant

This is a very well written story giving lots to think about regarding WW2 and the ways lives were completely changed, and families shattered. It was a great story for listening. There is plenty of intrigue and I never became bogged down.

Well written and well narrated

I found this book to be both poignant and heartfelt.
Separation of families during the war is documented
in many different ways, and it seemed very personal
in this story.
I thought the narration to be exceptional.

Incredible story!

Such an incredible story of intrigue and history! The characters and plot kept me glued to the book! Absolutely recommend this book!
