A novel about the war and friendship that had me gripped from the beginning. What I loved which was different about this war novel was that each chapter started with a real life quote or short description of events that were happening at the time the book was writing about. So although the novel was fiction I also learnt some things I never knew about this period of history.

The characters were compelling and became so real based on the descriptions and dialogue created by the author you were always willing for good fortune of the young girls.

A completely gripping novel told by a girl coming of age during a very difficult period of time bringing to life the struggles and the continuous danger so many people found themselves in.

This novel kept me hooked from beginning to end and has made me want to read other works by this author. Great read!
