WOW--at first I didn't think I would like the book, but as I got more involved with the characters, I became more involved with the story as a whole.
Oradour really did happen and I had never known about it. If I ever go back to France, I will definately visit and pay my respects.
Highly recommended, especially if you are either a France or WW2 enthusiast.

As a work of fiction, this is an interesting book but when you realize that this story is about acts of violence that occurred again and again as WWII was nearing its end, it will be hard to stop thinking about. It is an absolutely heartbreaking acount of the horrors of war and how nobody is safe, not the young, not the old, nobody. The author includes some historical information at the end which makes the book that much more powerful. I highly recommend it. It stayed in my mind for weeks after reading it and I will never forget it.
