Viann and Isabelle have always been close despite their differences. Younger, bolder sister Isabelle lives in Paris while Viann lives a quiet and content life in the French countryside with her husband Antoine and their daughter. When World War II strikes and Antoine is sent off to fight, Viann and Isabelle's father sends Isabelle to help her older sister cope. As the war progresses, it's not only the sisters' relationship that is tested, but also their strength and their individual senses of right and wrong. With life as they know it changing in unbelievably horrific ways, Viann and Isabelle will find themselves facing frightening situations and responding in ways they never thought possible as bravery and resistance take different forms in each of their actions. Vivid and exquiste in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with great monstrosities, but also great humanity and strength, Kristin Hannah's novel will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they turn the last page.… (meer)

A fictional story with a factual background. A beautiful story that is difficult to read, because I know that things like this happened. What do you do when all your choices are bad? My heart ached for these two sisters, and for occupied France, and all the victims of the Holocaust. It just missed five stars for me because it dragged slightly in the middle. Kristin Hannah is/was a Romance author, and there were a few hints of that in the writing style, which also jarred a bit. But overall a very good read. ( )

If you like historical fiction; World War II stories, France, and well developed female characters, you’ll definitely like this one. ( )
  TraSea | Apr 29, 2024 |
I had forgotten I entered this great story as a "want to read". I read it last year, and thought it was her best thus far, which isn't at all to say that any of her previous books were at all lacking. It's historical fiction -- France in WWII with two strong female lead characters. ( )
  TraSea | Apr 29, 2024 |
Haunting. The moral decisions each character makes in the face of relenting deprivation and social breakdown. The terrible brutality and cost of war. ( )
  KKBucher | Apr 12, 2024 |
WOW!

That was a tour de force. I am glad I read it.

Would I read another book by this author?
Yes.

Would I recommend this book?
Yes

Who would I recommend it to?
People interested in what happened in France during WWII in relation to how the war affected the lives of ordinary citizens and how they had to make difficult decisions in the face of Nazis occupation, aggression and violence.

Did this book inspire me to do anything?
Not that I can think of, but then that is probably because I was familiar with the history surrounding the story.

This is a story about the lives of two sisters, what they did during the occupation of their country by the Nazis, and the difficult decisions they made in an effort to be true to themselves and to survive. ( )

I know that grief, like regret, settles into our DNA and remains forever a part of us.
The stairs unfold from the ceiling like a gentleman extending his hand.

"We are all fragile, Isabelle. It's the thing we learn in war."
If I had told him the truth long ago, or had danced and drunk and sung more, maybe he would have seen me instead of a dependable, ordinary mother. He loves a version of me that is incomplete. I always thought it was what I wanted: to be loved and admired. Now I think perhaps I'd like to be known.
