This was our June book club book and honestly, I was really glad to re-read and discuss this book. It is a powerful novel and though I enjoyed it more the first time that I read it (in just one sitting), I savored it more on this re-read two years later. It is such a wonderful book of beauty amidst the ugly brutality of WWII. Truly, it is very well done with a lot of writing skill. I am looking forward to reading more of this talented author's work.
