This book is a poignant exploration of all the darker shades of gray that emerge in wartime, told through the stories of two sisters. The author's writing is beautiful, poetically describing their bleak life from war-ravaged Paris to the occupied French countryside. Small, sorrowful details complete the immersion of the reader into this regrettable world, slowly unwrapping a mystery introduced in the first chapter. Their experiences with casual brutality, painful indifference, and so much suffering are difficult to read, but hard to stop, the writing too compelling. Highly recommend to all, especially readers of historical fiction. Excellent audiobook too.
