My thoughts and opinion:
4,5 Stars from me.
What an intense book. As if WW2 wasn't intense enough, Stephan Collishaw caught the pain, fear and hope that jews had back then. Yael is a girl who lost everything ... her friends, parents, home. She's jewish and of course has to hide at any given chance. She meets Aleksei. A "weird" fella who never talks but still tolerates her in his home. Then the Germans come and Yael needs to fight for her life ...
I can highly recommend this book if your looking for something "true-to-history". It's definitely worth it since you will fall in love with the main protagonists.
Thank you so much Legend Press for sending me this book <3
