Thank you Libro.fm, Dreamscape Media, Algonquin Books, and NetGalley for this free audiobook for my review.

If I had to sum this book up in one word it would be transporting. And the audio experience only added to that. Hearing the names and places pronounced correctly and the inflection of feeling given to the descriptions, I could vividly picture this sweeping tale as it carried me across time and place. Reading the stories of a family through the timelines of a grandmother and granddaughter, you will suffer loss and grief, but also experience kindness and hope. Sometimes we act like the WWII stories we read have a monopoly on tales that contrast the worst and best of humanity, but this story shows us another facet of that human saga.
