I felt like I was right there with her. Her voice, especially including the diary entries, gave such a different perspective of the war and the Holocaust that I had not read or seen before. The book is an amazing combination of love story, history, and unmatched courage.

I have read all the books swirling around Anne Frank. Miep Gies's memoir about hiding that Franks is unreal and Anne's book of course.

Amazing story. And, she didn't even want to tell it -- the author required a bit of sweet-talking. Thank goodness she gave in. The world needs to read about such courage in the face of danger. Humble opinion and all that. :)<br /><br />Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-52372708045943280322013-04-18T19:08:50.825-05:002013-04-18T19:08:50.825-05:00I'm in love with books about this period in hi...I'm in love with books about this period in history.

I'd never heard of it and was totally blown away by the courage of the people in the resistance. I've read a book called Resistance set in France but it's an older title by Anita Shreve. Looks like there are a bunch of books with that title. I'll bop over to your blog to ask you who the author is.

I got so burnt out on them, and stopped reading them, because they all told such horrific stories with almost no hope. If you want to read another amazing story about the French Resistance, look up Resistance. I think that was my favorite, but I am prepared to move that one down on the list for this one. Incredible review today. I am off to buy this one now.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-55804617736813511082013-04-18T13:27:08.173-05:002013-04-18T13:27:08.173-05:00I know what you mean, Wendy.

We're getting enough of that blasted at us in the news, right now. I tend to read WWII books because they're a reminder to me of a time when so many people were willing to sacrifice their lives for others and when they endured hardship with quiet and calm. They despaired at times, but still . . . I'm always in awe of how people survived during WWII.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-87532425002689851522013-04-18T13:24:30.605-05:002013-04-18T13:24:30.605-05:00It's worth waiting for payday, Bridget.
