Welcome to Litsy!

Hold on, I'm still crying. I absolutely loved this book. I learned a lot about WW2, but I also got this amazing, heart-wrenching, and beautifully written story. Kristin Hannah never misses. I could read her talking about paint drying, and she could figure out how to make me think it was beautiful. This book shows the more unknown side of the war and the crucial part women played. I cannot wait to pick up more from her after I recover 5/5

‘Love. It was the beginning and the end of everything, the foundation and the ceiling and the air in between.‘

This was my first book I‘ve read by Kristin Hannah and I loved her writing style. Although this book was long, I never felt like she was drawing out details or over explaining things.
This book had so many great things going for it. The emotions of love, betrayal, anxiety, heartbreak and fear, it was an emotional roller coaster but so well written.

Yesterday‘s op shop purchases after ballet. Grand total 🟰 $17. It was another fabulous day at my ballet school‘s Summer Intensive. Pilates to warm up then a repertoire class learning the Aurora wedding variation from Sleeping Beauty followed by a mindfulness session. Then home for a wine and stretch. I‘m pretty sore.

10/5 ⭐️
I cannot praise this book enough. A heart-wrenching story everyone should read. I will definitely read more books by this author.

I enjoyed the story; a bit overwrought. Book 9 of 2024

This one broke me. I cried so hard. I really recommend this book. I hear it should be a movie soon with the Fanning sisters, Dakota and Elle, which I would watch. It‘s about the German invasion on France and the Holocaust. It talks about the ladies who helped hide and save Jewish children during WWII. Heartbreaking 💔

@booksnbowls and I do a monthly book swap from our shelves, and this is her pick for November for me to read! I'm definitely annotating and excited to finally read a book by this author. 🩵

“I survived,” I say quietly.
