Probably my favorite from Reese’s list so far. Could not put it down. Finished it in a little over a day. Highly recommend. Have heard chatter it may be made into a movie.

Very engaging book with heart-stopping events throughout. Brings to light their struggles and challenges during the time period as women.

Very well researched, using real people’s stories throughout this historical fiction. I really enjoyed reading about the strength and struggle of the women involved in the Alice Network during WWI. The theme of this book is how strong women are and how much they can and will endure. This was an inspiring and fascinating story. Worth a read!

This was a great story. I couldn't put this down. Immediately I was lost in the story of this character and how her story became intertwined with the past. Great read.

2 great stories weaved together by strength, courage, sacrifice, survival and love. A great way to tell the untold story of women’s contributions To WWII and their sacrifices of life and love.

The dual plot lines from the two World Wars, and skipping back and forth kept me involved in trying to figure out whether the three central characters, damaged by war, were going to pull together to find a path forward for each of them or split apart. The peripheral people are affected by their decisions and choices, so that it is a really complex puzzle. It is not a book for the faint of heart; but it will keep you riveted to the end. I listened to the audio book, and the narrator was excellent. She seems to speak several languages fluently, so there were no mangled pronunciations, and she differentiated the characters' personalities excellently, so that it was easy to follow who was speaking. I noticed in other comments that there was an author's notes section, which was not included in the audio book that I listened to. I was sorry to have missed that.

Very good book but I liked The Huntress more

What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be human? I laughed. I cried. I raged. This book made me feel everything! And I kept turning pages as fast as I could to find out what would happen next. These were definitely characters I could, and did, root for all the way to the end. Heartbreaking and inspiring, this is a book more people need to read. I didn't realize when I started it that it was based on fact, and I appreciated that the author went into some details about those facts at the end. It was eye-opening for sure.

Excellent story about determined, courageous women who are willing to do whatever it takes for family and country!

Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t love this book but I found the whole premise kind of ridiculous. It just doesn’t seem plausible that a well bred woman would go searching for her (probably) dead cousin with a couple of complete strangers, while pregnant no less! And then, while still pregnant, comes on to one of these strangers even though he is old enough to be her father. It just doesn’t seem like something that a young woman would do in post-war Europe in 1947. Just my two cents.
