Got this book through paperbackswap.com. Read it in about a week. Interesting story. I'm a baby boomer and I've often wondered how people in WWII Europe endured the hardships--bombings, shortage of food, etc. I'll give the author credit for not portraying all Germans as horrible human beings--the first German soldier to billet with Vianne was a decent man. The reason I'm giving it three stars instead of four or five is because neither of the central characters--Vianne or Isabelle--were particularly likeable. I also didn't think the "love story" between Isabelle and a member of the underground added anything to the story. Not a terrible book but also not a great one.
