Here are my points.

so-soVery dry to begin with but then gains traction.
pickIt was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.
pickA beautiful heartbreak. The characters are complex. Even the villains are beloved. The atmosphere is so well portrayed that it isn‘t an exaggeration to say the reader may very well awake from the pages of the novel expecting to hear gunfire and see enemy soldiers creating the mountainous ridge.
