This is a captivating and well-researched novel. I was immersed in the dangerous and heroic world of resistance fighters during Nazi-occupied Europe. The book's exploration of themes such as sacrifice, bravery, and the resilience of the human spirit resonated strongly with me.

I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction and World War II literature.

Gripping, edge-of-your-seat storytelling from Jenoff. WWII, Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪, this is based on an actual rescue mission. Resisters Matteo, his sister Marcheline, and widow Hannah join forces to attack a railcar bound for Auschwitz to free Hannah‘s cousin Lily and her son. Solid characters who, like us readers, are never sure who they can trust

Mehso-so

Every single character's bad decisions grated on me. It took a while for me to get through it. The story itself is interesting, but this isn‘t my favorite of hers.

This story is loosely inspired by the 'Comet Line' that worked to get downed airmen out of Belgium and by the 1943 attack by the resistance on a train heading to Auschwitz that freed many prisoners. I enjoyed the book and had trouble putting it down, but it was the story and the action, rather than the characters that held me. I of course loved that I learned something new, which is what the best historical fiction does. 3.75/5 stars.

Although I‘m fatigued regarding WWII stories Pam Jenoff however always manages to write well researched and well written stories about characters you want to take the journey with. This is no exception. I loved this one! Fast paced Hannah may be one of my favorite FC she‘s crafted. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
