A must read for any one interested in the Humanitarian side of WW2. A forgotten character in the history of Auschwitz and one I was grateful to have read.

Very visual - easy to "see" the subject, features some characters from history that are not always well known, informative and entertaining. Philippa Gregory may have her critics, but I am not one of, (0 more)
One of Philippa Gregory's Best
Philippa Gregory may have her critics, but I am not one of them. This is one of my favourite novels of hers and she does a great job of introducing the reader to the formidable Bess of Hardwick, a figure from history that I knew next to nothing about, but who was a witness to, and a part of, some important moments in history. One thing that I like about Philippa Gregory is that she is honest about how she "fills in the gaps" of history to craft her novels - her Author's notes at the end of her works always explain this and sometimes detail how it was done. I often reread Philippa's work and I'm definitely going to go back to this, it's been too long.

Full of eye candy and a great setup for the next marvel chapter. Unfortunately one of the group's toughest foes in history is under utilized and Quicksilver exited too quickly.

I absolutely loved this book. It is very well written. Packed with both history and personal knowledge. This is a must have for diviners looking into the art of tasseomancy.
