Praise for this book

"If you love historical fiction, this is your must-read book: It's captivating, fascinating, and incredibly faithful to the events as they happened, and Jessica Shattuck reveals an entirely new side of what it's like to be a woman in wartime."--Newsweek, on the English-language edition

"Moving . . . Shattuck's achievement--beyond unfolding a plot that surprises and devastates--is in her subtle exploration of what a moral righteousness looks like in the aftermath of the war, when communities and lives must be rebuilt, together."--New York Times Book Review, on the English-language edition
