Vianne and Isabelle are two sisters living in Nazi occupied France during WW2. While completely different in personality, the two sisters find themselves sucked into different parts of the war effort. What happens is an extraordinary tale of strength, love and hope.

Ugh this was so beautiful. It's the kind of book that makes you feel like someone has reached it and squeezed your heart to bits because emotions, emotions, emotions. It's also a quiet kind of story, you don't fall head over heels in love with it right away. I didn't realise I was so sucked in and so invested in these women until over halfway through when it hit me like a ton of bricks. Things started getting really intense and I found myself worrying about Vianne and Isabelle and some of the dangerous situations they found themselves in. Truly a story of women's amazing courage during wartime.

The setting was great, the pacing was great, the characters were great from Vianne and Isabelle to Beck and Ari/Daniel. I love moments like the very end of this book when you get sucker punched with emotion and can't help but tear up. A MUST READ for every WW2-fiction lover.
