Harrowing, heartbreaking and a reminder of the cruelty and futility of war, the pure evil of the Holocaust and the shame of those who stood by. Similar to another one of my favorites, Suite Francaise. Beautifully written. 💔

Wanted to love it given my fascination with all things WW-1 but just could not connect to the characters, the plot, or frankly any of it. Made it half way but had to give up…too many books in this world to enjoy!

Sometimes you need an utterly silly faerie story filled with the world’s most cliched one liners to enjoy 😉

Thought this might be a semidecent vacation read. Nope. Utter tedious tosh. If I read one more book that has English characters using words such as gotten (received, become), bangs (fringe), "guess so" (suppose so), I will scream!! ...more

Alexander Pope
“Consult the genius of the place in all;
That tells the waters or to rise, or fall;
Or helps th' ambitious hill the heav'ns to scale,
Or scoops in circling theatres the vale;
Calls in the country, catches opening glades,
Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades,
Now breaks, or now directs, th' intending lines;
Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.”
Alexander Pope
