Wow. What to say about this book? It is so sad. Every time you think it can't get any worse, these people can't get any more dumped on them, they do. The last 60 pages tore me up. I had to take breaks and go back and read more.

I've read a bit about the Gulags and things that happened in Russia during WWII, but never had I read about what happened in France. Such a moving story and told in a way that you feel like you are there. That you can picture it all. I was glad to have finished it during the day and not right before I went to bed though. To heavy for just before bed. Can't recommend it enough though!
