This is not exactly an enjoyable book. War is never pleasant. We know about what happened in WW2, but the day-to-day of the people behind those lines is shocking to be immersed in. I will say that the twists were good and I got pretty choked up at the end. But I will enjoy not having Nazis literally occupy my dreams at night any more.
