I really enjoyed this book - as I do all of Kristin Harmel's books. I was surprised reading the Author's Notes when she indicated that she wrote this book during a time when she had a writer's block. This book was written during her cancer treatments for breast cancer. For eight months she couldn't summon the words for the story. In retrospect she thinks it had something to do with the effect of the chemotherapy drugs and her fear during that particular time in her life. I must say, when reading this novel, I never felt anything was amiss or subpar. I very seldom pre-order books. I typically wait until I am able to get it through PBS, the library or other means. I pre-ordered this book as I am a true fan of Kristin's writing. I highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed.
Another wonderful story by this amazing author! A dual timeline story about a young girl who during the war was taught to be a jewel thief, like Robin Hood-so she could take from the rich and undeserving and give to the cause,and the poor. All her life , she has blamed herself for her sister's disappearance when the Nazi's were at the door. When a bracelet is discovered that may prove what happened to her sister, she goes on a search to find out what she missed all these years.As usual, with her books, I was in tears in the end!
