This was my first foray into historical fiction set in World War II, and I wasnt sure what to expect at first. Having grown up in the US, I think my opinion and views of WWII are rather different than that of the rest of the world. While all wars are devastating, things werent nearly so risky living here as it was in Europe.
As a result, this book helped give me a different perspective on the war and how it affected an ordinary family like the de la Mares. I can only imagine what it would be like to live in an occupied territory, having a state imposed curfew and worrying about what it might look like if Im seen talking to certain people. And on top of that, worrying about how to feed not only my family, but other people less fortunate than myself Im scared just thinking about it.
