Loved this well written story. Such in depth character analysis of the protagonists, and captured their experiences and feelings incredibly well. You do need to pay attention though, as the chapters can switch between characters and past/present times.

Excellent!!!!

I loved this book. Really loved it. It was beautifully written; captivating and heart-felt. A very satisfying listen. Highly recommend.

A very moving story of life in Europe during WWII, told from the perspective of two protagonists from opposing sides. A heartbreaking story of the reality of war for those at home and on the front, told through breathtakingly beautiful prose. The plot, however, is woven in it jumps back and forth through time, which does not lend itself nicely to the audiobook format.

Beautiful story. Humanised some of the soldiers fighting on what History views as the "wrong side". One of those stories that just sit with you long after the last page is read.

Incredible book, brought to life skillfully by the narrator. Don’t be put off by the first ten minutes of the reading - it starts in a disjointed way but stick with it!

This was a great book which I really enjoyed. Written from the perspectives of two young people and their lives on opposing sides during World War 2. The characters were well developed and the descriptions of how Marie-Laurre navigated and experienced her surroundings as a blind person were excellent. I would definitely recommend this book.

A drawn out philosophical story about the life's of 2 young poeple during WW2.

would definitely recommend

I did appreciate this book as being so beautifully written, and I enjoyed listening to it- I just found my mind wandering at times and it didn’t have me riveted.

Good to read and well narrative

Absolutely amazing! WOW!

Nice stilling reading

I was caught up in the characters and times of this book. I felt as though I was there .

An enjoyable and engaging story of 2 young people from different backgrounds & on opposite sides from the wars' perspective. Highly recommended if you enjoy true to life accounts of World War 2. I did find the narrator hard to follow at times but she has a good grasp of French & German language. Enjoy!

A fabulous listen -

A fantastic voice and accent.

A very good book but quite sad and moving with lots of detail of how difficult life was during WW11

This novel weaves some many stories together beautifully and painfully. A story of how, miraculously, some people were able to survive WWII, while others didn't.

Amazing book. Highly recommend! Narrator was excellent!
