A page-turner, enlightening about a little-known episode in WWII, took me away to a different time and place, fell in love with the characters, poignant and sad yet also goodness, kindness and acceptance of loss.Mijhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814535838935243906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-79581426442902683462011-06-13T19:26:20.136-04:002011-06-13T19:26:20.136-04:00Couldn't agree more with your review - wonderf...Couldn't agree more with your review - wonderful book!

I like the sound of this story though, and think that I may have to add it to the list. I like that you describe it as economical yet emotional.
