I am a big fan of historical fiction books set during WWII. One of the primary characters, Lisa Smirnova, is amazing with her willingness to join the resistance when she has the opportunity to return home. Another major character is Irina. These two women are strong and resilient. I enjoyed the way the author alternates the “voice” of each chapter between the resistance fighters and their family members. The sacrifices these individuals were willing to make was admirable. The fact that the Ukraine played a part gave it a unique perspective … and moving considering what is happening today in that area of the world.
