I read this one so fast because I just didn't want to put it down. There are SO MANY WWII books out right now but this one still had me swooning. You can't help but love these sisters and root for Emmy as she defies the adults around her to chase her dreams (even when tragedy strikes). There's also the spin of the modern scholar interviewing the main character and then the story being told through her flashbacks that makes this one different, and I really, truly loved the way it was told. I appreciated how this one ended, too, which isn't always the case with books about this time period.
