One of my fav books of all time. A story about two women and their lives during Nazi Germany. A rebellious girl who strives to mark her presence in the world war and her sister who patiently awaits a husband gone to fight in the war. The heartfelt stories of these sisters accompanied by Kristin Hannah’s beautiful writing, makes the book both heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the same time. A must read and quite frankly the best Historical fiction I’ve read till date.

This is a heart-breaking story of women in a war. It tells us how We think war is only about men but it's only half-truth.Women go through the same hardships as men.How their daily struggle to survive force them to make difficult decision which completely transform their life. This sad story will remain with me for a long time. Narrator has done a great job in telling us this story. It couldn't have been better than this.

The book evokes so many different emotions! Helped us understand times during the war which left people bereft of looking at life with hope and longing. A soulstirrer for me! I enjoy all Kristin Hannah's books. She makes it poignant!It stole my heart!
