"In war, they made impossible choices. Now, they must live with them." Or so reads a tagline on the cover. To my mind, in times & situations such as those, rather than *make choices* people simply do what they have to in order to survive; very often there IS no other choices.

The cover image itself is hauntingly atmospheric, and i like the way the women, whilst seemingly so small in comparison to the towering castle (an analogy for 'the establishment'?), appear strong and solid against the softer look of the architecture.

I am interested in the history of this era and am intrigued to see how much 'fact' the author has woven into the story, based on her extensive research, both general and personal family history.

Definitely eager to read the stories of these three courageous women.


The book has been compared to The Reader, a book I very much enjoyed, so of course it will be on my TBR list!
