Wonderful Historical Fiction
This book had me gripped from beginning to end. It was a very different look into WW2 and Hitler. I found myself unable to put this book down. Highly recommend. It was a quick amd easy read, yet I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Book Favorite

"This is a deliciously dense historical text about some of the baddest bitches ever to crawl the streets of New York. Drama. Drugs. Sex. Violence. Flapper dresses that would look so good on the women of Big Little Lies. This book has it all."

Book Favorite

"I love all of Sarah Waters’ historical fiction but this is my favorite novel, set during and after WWII. It starts slow but picks up insane momentum, using reverse narration to follow the characters backward in time to the explosive wartime scenes that shaped them."
