Fascinating glimpse into WWII espionage

Revisado: 01-20-25

I love how multiple sources were used to pull together a story that was quite engaging as we learn about Aline Griffith. The epilogue was a special touch.

Story of emotion and thoughtfulness

Revisado: 04-18-24

The audio performance was superb. The story captured me immediately and I loved the characters, flaws and all. The character development was amazing and they felt like real people living during such a tragic time of history. The story packs a punch of emotion and leaves you pondering life at the end and sadness at saying goodbye to these people.

Dynamic characters that exemplify the complexity of the human condition

Revisado: 02-22-24

The audio performance was of course amazing. I knew there would be a twist and I really thought I had it figured out. I did not and that made me love the book for not being predictable.

Powerful story of strong women

Revisado: 08-23-23

Books on WWII are difficult to read due to the magnitude of evil and loss. The stories are important to remember the heroes and the actions to hopefully prevent history repeating itself. The book had me captured from the beginning and sobbing at the end. I do recommend this book and the narrator performs it very well.

A dark segment of history

Revisado: 02-08-23

This book is written in such a way that you develop attachment to characters as you learn about another dark truth of Nazi practices. It is a very well written book, but difficult to read due to the emotions that are stirred. I feel we are obligated to learn history to hopefully prevent repeating it. Historical fiction is a method that allows the reader to develop relationships with the characters while learning about a particular place and time. This author did this very well and the author’s note at the end is just as telling.

A love story

Revisado: 01-06-23

So much about this book to love as your heart breaks and anger is flared. The history of WWII is so difficult, especially when you read historical fiction that lets you feel some of the emotions experienced by those most affected by the war. A well written book that is hard to put down and leaves you missing its characters once you turn the final page.

A must read for transplant professionals

Revisado: 12-05-22

As a lung transplant coordinator for over 20 years, this book hit home. Dr. Weill eloquently presents life and transplant-the hurdles and amazing gift. I saw glimpses of myself, as well as beloved doctors and patients. And this book made me cry.
