Helpful Score: 1
This is another great family history told from the memories of the main character. The backdrop is WWII France: local town invaded by the Germans and how it impacts all the town's residents, especially the children of this one family. It's intriguing, filled with secrets and a few subplots regarding growing up and coming into one's own self. It is rich with suffering, denial, rewriting history, keeping secrets and putting your chin up and facing the world, however many deceptions required. It is also filled with sweet moments and dramatic "aha!" revelations. Good book. Short enough to read in a weekend but you may want to stretch it out just to enjoy it a little longer.
