"Disjointed at first with numerous story lines, the book comes into its own after the first third. Through her characters and story lines, Piercy makes a statement about antisemitism through WWII years. accurately reflects the randomness of war."
"This is the best book I have ever read. This is a must for anyone who enjoys historial fiction. I have friends who don't like History, but loved it as well."
"I read this while stationed in Frankfurt, (then West)Germany. I was totally swept up (hey, that's what escapism fiction is for!) in the depiction of the WWII heroics, the 'can do' girls back home, and the tales of romantic french resistance fighters (the french are ALWAYS so romantic - how do they do it?) Would love to find a copy and lose myself in it again!"
