My Reviews
This book was very sad.....but made me sit and think about how often we turn a blind eye to those things around us because they are too sad or depressing.
This book really helped me to see a different side to life in Afghanistan. Ms. Windle helps you to feel for the women there, and what life would be like for them.
This book is about a young woman who is held by the German's. They are trying to make her crack under torture, when she saved by the Americans. Her troubles are over! She makes some friends and falls in love, but love is thwarted by fate or so it seems. Alone once again, she finds herself married to a diplomat and being thrust back into the spy world. Is things as they appear or will you find more twists and turns.
I personally loved this twist on a Holocaust time period story. It is filled with romance and intrigue. It might not be the most accurate or realistic, but it was an amazing love story!
This book was one that you can pick up and not want to put down! It is hard for us to imagine a life where we were so controlled by societies rules that we would want to run away from home to escape an unwanted marriage, but it was common in the days this story takes place! I found the book so enjoyable to read, like Julie Klaussen's other titles, it was insightful and well researched!
