Absolutely incredible
Set in war-torn France during the height of WWII, this novel follows a pair of sisters as they fight back against the Nazi invasion. Beautifully written, this haunting tale shows just how far people will go for the ones they love.

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."

Movie Favorite

"It's a brilliantly angry comedy that was made during WWII. It was obviously considered to be in very poor taste, because it was making jokes about concentration camps and so on, but it?s a very personal and passionate film that also happens to be very funny."
