An excruciatingly beautiful story. Hands down the best book I have read all year. This book starts small, but ends in a big way, wrapping up all the little threads into an amazingly complete package. It is so difficult to tell a story of so much sadness and suffering but end with hope, and Rimmer masters this like few others. From page one, I was hooked. The journey through the book was at times painful, for Rimmer created such vibrant characters and conveyed their emotions so fully and effectively. I could not recommend this book more for anyone with an interest in historical fiction from the WWII era, particularly the story of Poland and her people.
