Great Book submitted by 0liviap0pp on August 22, 2011, 7:21am This is a wonderful historical fiction book.

Marvelous Read submitted by Beth Manuel on June 26, 2015, 9:22am This was a fascinating read for me, especially its references to Hungary, both pre- and during World War II. Holocaust stories always spark my interest. The descriptions of Hungary made me really want to visit to get in touch with my roots. I also learned from a friend that the author is from Ann Arbor. I'd recommend this book if you like historical fiction, European or war history or stories about love and family relationships.

okay historical fiction, mediocre reader of BOCD submitted by 21621031390949 on July 29, 2017, 7:44pm Historical fiction about Hungary and France during WWII. Okay story. I listened to the recorded version and the reader was only so-so
