My sister sent me her copy of this WW II novel about French women in the resistance during the Nazi occupation of France. And wow. So good.
Some things felt a little clichéd but I don‘t care, I was moved by the story of Isabelle and Vianne, and still want to give this five stars.
It was scary to be reading about this and how it mirrors some of what is happening in the US right now. Not the same of course, but there‘s some parallels.
pickHold on, I'm still crying. I absolutely loved this book. I learned a lot about WW2, but I also got this amazing, heart-wrenching, and beautifully written story. Kristin Hannah never misses. I could read her talking about paint drying, and she could figure out how to make me think it was beautiful. This book shows the more unknown side of the war and the crucial part women played. I cannot wait to pick up more from her after I recover 5/5
pick‘Love. It was the beginning and the end of everything, the foundation and the ceiling and the air in between.‘
pickThis was my first book I‘ve read by Kristin Hannah and I loved her writing style. Although this book was long, I never felt like she was drawing out details or over explaining things.
This book had so many great things going for it. The emotions of love, betrayal, anxiety, heartbreak and fear, it was an emotional roller coaster but so well written.
Didn‘t think I could emotionally handle another Kristin Hannah book, but I did it! Highly recommend.
“How can I start from the beginning, when all I can think about is the end?
Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after ballet. Grand total 🟰 $17. It was another fabulous day at my ballet school‘s Summer Intensive. Pilates to warm up then a repertoire class learning the Aurora wedding variation from Sleeping Beauty followed by a mindfulness session. Then home for a wine and stretch. I‘m pretty sore.
pickThis book the human side of the war and Nazis so brilliantly. Real personal stories that highlight the struggles of the women who were the real victims and hero‘s in the war. Excellent!
pickI enjoyed the story; a bit overwrought. Book 9 of 2024
