This was incredible, a tale of loss and friendship at a time when the friendship described was taboo and forbidden by the mores of the current day.
It is the time of the occupation of Belgium in 1940.
Hava Daniels is a Jew and Simone Lyon is the daughter of a national war hero.
When their city is invaded the girls flee for their lives together.
What follows is their story of an epic struggle for survival across a war torn land.
Tragic yet also human and touching when we read of the girls friendship at a terrible time in our history, this is shocking in its brutality and shows the graphic nature of war and its effects on the people caught up in it.
A very important and necessary read on the destructive and human cost of wars.
Loosely based on real life situations and people this was a must read for fans of wartime fiction and historical fiction in general.
