Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Love, loss, betrayal -- all in the time of Nazis

Elodie and Monique are rummaging through their family attic one day when they come across an old trunk full of letters and memorabilia. They find it all extremely interesting, so they start to peruse the trinkets. Little do they know this will set them on a whirlwind adventure through their family history, bringing to light that which has been hidden for decades.

I absolutely loved this story. It has so much information regarding World War II, and it really gets to the heart of what it was like for families during that time, especially those living in occupied France, such as the one featured. There are many issues expressed during the course of the novel, and not just those stemming for the occupation. It made for a very interesting read that I couldn't put down, and I love the format in which it's written: the story being told to an author in order to help Elodie write the book on her family.

I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good romp through history, especially the WWII era, as well as those who like intrigue, love stories, and just great stories.

Just finished watching brilliant movie great performance's from the cast overall as I already knew alot about the history of the Manson family and Sharon Tate murders that shook America in 69. Loved the music score. Both leoando DiCaprio and brad Pitt are excellent as the washed up actor and his stunt double who are the heart and soul of the movie. Margot Robbie plays Sharon Tate the actress who would become victim to the family. the film is good but not my favourite Tarantino film that's still pulp fiction but it's good film the only thing too long but that's okay.

The characters in thisbook were likable and developed. The settings were amazing. The plot took some twists and turns. The overall flow of the book was very good. The progression of the two main characters relationship and how it connects to their family history was unique. There were a couple of times I wanted to yell at Avery for being stupid. I definately recommend this book. It would be a beach or sitting by the fireplace read.
