This WWII historical fiction is my favorite of all-time. From the rich and unique settings, to the refreshing writing style (focusing on feelings and smells over sight), to the very real and emotional characters, this book gets everything right. So beautifully written, yet so sad and scarily suspenseful at points. The whole story keeps building and building until the very end, if you haven’t picked this up yet what are you waiting for!?
