This is book is about the Nazi occupation of France and two sisters, different as night and day. The older Vianne was afraid and weak and younger Isabella, rebellious, strong and defiant.
They fight the Nazis in their own way, Vianne saving Jewish children in a convent, while Isabella joins the French Resistance and leads downed British and American airman over mountains to safety.
I'm sure this has been done before in different ways, but these sisters were riveting, their story captivating as they endured torture, fear, starvation and freezing temperatures. Survival was the only thing they wanted. I felt their pain and suffering like my own and the touching ending was sad and poignant.
I haven't stopped thinking about this book, therefore 5 stars! Be sure to keep tissues nearby.
