I love Pam Jenoff. I fell in love with her storytelling when I read "The Orphans Tale". That was a fantastic book. This book was similar only in it set during WW2, however it also goes back and forth between WW1 era,the 60s and the modern era.
Pam does very well transitioning between the timelines. I liked the story but it was missing something and I dont know what in the world it is. The book isn't as great as I expected but its still satisfactory.
I was totally disappointed in the ending and felt the "climax" was uncalled for. I felt she did it to get a reaction out of everyone. That she is brave enough to kill off her characters for the WOW factor. What Im saying, sounds so very rude, but I couldn't help but feel that way. It was so fake and I dont think the author knew what to do what her characters, so she copped out.
Still, I say give it a go, many people like this book, I just think its meh..
