This story had it all. The good side and bad side of love (maternal and romantic) in a war torn world because of Nazi occupying Guernsey.
I glimpsed parallels between the brave nurse who risked it all to protect innocent babies and Camille—a woman who survived because of her beauty and certain … abilities. I didn’t expect to come to care for Camille so much, but her heart gutting story, and the other mothers’ stories as to why they couldn’t care for their children were so beautifully, and tragically written.
“I don’t care about myself but my son deserves a future without a monster in it.’
There were so many amazing lines in the story, but I picked that one, and would love to see this story as a film. (I don’t say that often, but this would make a great movie)
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.
