This is Elizabeth Ironside's best yet. I am an avid fan of her other books, but found this work much more complex and well written. Set in occupied France at the end of WWII, this book brings to life the hardships and challenges endured by the innocent. It displays that sometimes we do what has to be done, even if it goes against our nature. Reminiscent of "Suite Francaise" by Irene Nemirovsky.
