Written so well, and really gives a great image of two different lives during WW2. Shows the humanity that can and will prevail when we speak out for our beliefs.
Great book. Very long, and has some slow parts, but overall a really great read. Misha Collins explained it best with his wife's reaction. “ “It can't be as good as you're saying.” Fifty pages in she was still skeptical and said, “I like it,” in a slightly cavalier tone, “but I think you just read it when you were in a weird mood.” 100 pages in, she disappeared into her room and began ignoring me and the children. When she finished it she found me in the kitchen. Her glasses were wet with tears. She hugged me and said, “Beautiful. So beautiful.””
Read it if you have the time, and want to be blown away.
Finally finished the third book of this series. I hope there will be a fourth! Catherynne Valente is so incredibly descriptive in her writing it makes me long for the ability to turn her descriptions into wonderful works of art.
