"It's not their fault,"Christine said to Hanna. "What could they have done to stop it? Any of them? What could they have done without getting themselves killed?"
3.5 stars. A very difficult book to rate. I struggled with the first part of the story, as the relationship between the two main characters felt a bit like instalove - we only see them together three times but have to believe in Christine and Isaac's undying love. The main part of the book was phenomenal - shocking, heartbreaking with a lot of detail on Hitler's propaganda previously unknown to me. The ending felt like there was too much happening with too few characters, but I've never lived in the aftermath of a war, so maybe this is the way it would be.
If WWII books are your thing, I still highly recommend this. I think I may just have gone in with very high expectations.

Because of your review I almost skipped this book. they see each other more than three times! I'm not sure why you have a hard time with their 'undying love' but that was typical of the times. How many American soldiers married girls they had known for a week before shipping off? Just my opinion. I just wanted to reply to this post since this was one of the ones I read and almost didn't read this book because of it. Glad I chose to read it. It's a fabulous book.
I gave it 3.5 stars and highly recommended it? Glad you enjoyed it.
Great review, Tania.
