Fascinating and so sad but also hopeful. I loved the perspective of both mom and daughter hiding out, surviving any way they could and also the struggle of trying to reunite after the war was over. I can’t even imagine with being in a world now where so much information is at our fingertips and they only had word of mouth and notes on bulletin boards. Insane. 

I also appreciated the realistic mental warring of Roza as a mom - it was so real and relatable - and the child-like battle of her daughter.  Really well written and unfolded.
