The story of Charlotte and Viv, how they survived and ultimately escaped from occupied Paris, then how those decisions and events affected the rest of their lives was interesting and engaging.
There were times when this book was hard to read … most of us {thankfully} have never lived through anything like this, and hopefully never will. Although this book was very good, I would not consider it a clean read. On a scale of 1-5 with 5 being squeaky clean, I’d give it a 3.75!
