Welcome to Litsy!

For a story about smuggling and forgeries in WWII, this had an excruciatingly slow pace. The storyline was promising, the execution, lacking. I really enjoyed another novel by this Author.

1. My Grandma

2. Sophie Scholl. Sophie has nearly 200 schools named after her in Germany. After the failed July 20, 1944, attempt on Hitler‘s life, the White Rose students are the best-known example of Germans who sought to resist the Nazis. That there were so few similar deeds shows just how difficult and dangerous resistance was and how successful Nazi tactics had been in desensitising consciences and eliminating whatever stood in their way.

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.

I enjoyed the story; a bit overwrought. Book 9 of 2024
