This book was epic in every way. The writing was wonderful, the story true, the characters heroic, sadistic, and vivid. It really brings you into World War II. Many of the books that I've read about World War II are based in Europe, ofte...
This book is a riveting, frustrating, powerful, sad, fascinating roller coaster ride. At its core, it is a family drama. It deals with prejudice, parents' hope that their children will live out their missed opportunities, unspoken love, ...
