Started and then dropped this one for a few days, then came back to it.. not a huge fan of WW2 bc the Nazis truly were evil incarnate. But apparently I'm drawn to the time period, having read the Bronze Horseman and now this. And in comparison, this is probably the better book. The prose wasn't flowery like BH for one, and the characters were morally squeaky clean.. so why did I like the grittiness of BH more?

Knew about the 'twist' at the end, so was on board w it.. this is the kind of story you want to read about bc despite Eva's entire family being killed, it's not traumatic for the reader (looking @ you, BH!) and there is a happy ending. 4 stars? A solid story.
