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.

I like straight-forward romamnces: boy meets boy/girl, get together, live HEA, the end.
I'm not a fan of complicated/family filled/not getting straight to the point stories.
I thought this book would be good and to start with I enjoyed it but it was taking too long getting where it was going, deviating into strange dreams that just totally put me off, hence me DNF'ing the story.
Totally not my sort of thing.
