I love the cover - it conveys the darkness of war, of being shrouded in uncertainty. The secrets of war come to the reader through Kristin who is actually Stella, trying to hide her Jewishness in a city where the Gestapo have control. Friedrich is naive, fallen in love with Kristin but it's as Stella that he begins to understand the reality around him. Beautifully written.
