Helpful Score: 2
I love historical fictions and that it what drew me to this book. As a "hometown boy" Owen Sheers portrays a secluded, difficult to travel to valley that is rarely visited by anyone who does not have a purpose for going there. Faced with a "what if this really happened?" Owen Sheers develops both his characters, the landscape, the animals, the history, the secret, and the situation of an occupied village. His imagery moves the reader into the book, but often bogs the reader down. The ending is left up to the reader to decide which way the main charcter will go. Much is left for the reader to draw their own conclusion. It is not your typical WWII novel!
Owen Sheers depicts the resilency of women when faced with diversity. It's a great first time novel!
