This is a WWII fiction that will tug at your heart. The story follows several people during the war. Keep the tissues handy this is definitely a tear jerker. It is one of the best WWII historical fictions I have read. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

This was my first read by Catherine Hokin and I will definitely read more, I really enjoyed it. WW2 stories can be really hard to read and this had its fair share of darkness and sorrow. With the sorrow is hope. Beautifully written, definitely made me pause and think and feel sad about the atrocities of war. Highly recommend it was very good.

This was everything that I was looking for from a World War 2 era, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed getting to know the character in this. Catherine Hokin has a strong writing style and was glad I got to read this.

A perfect blend of sorrow and hope - of family and loved ones lost and found - and the Monuments Men at the center! Fantastic!
