I really enjoyed this book from the perspective of women and the personal battles that were also fought all over Europe during the war. The various things the women in this story had to endure to survive were portrayed very realistically and so incrementally that by the end, you really feel the impact of those war years. My grade 8 daughter also really enjoyed this book. She found the characters rich and endearing. The personal tragedies and sacrifices really teach you about humanity at it's worst and best.
