Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I highly recommend this book. It's not like other WWII books I've read recently. This was different because it's from the perspective of a French Jew who was not even a practicing Jew. She is an amazing woman who strived to break barriers to become a doctor. And the heroic acts she was involved in were amazing.

Captivating from the very first page.

Colette’s life story hooked me in from the very beginning and I read the book in a single sitting, unable to put it down. Heartbreak, heartache, disgust, pride, anger, awe - so many emotions wrapped up within an incredible story.

Whilst Colette’s memories were long locked up, her retelling is rich and vibrant and I imagined myself in her shoes, in awe of the strength and resilience of the human spirit in such trying times.

A powerful story that needs to be shared about a time we all hope we never share again.
