Isabelle spends the war working for the Resistance. The sisters and their father were not close before the war. Their father was distant, physically and emotionally for years. Vianne is a mother and wife who always considered herself weak. Isabelle felt abandoned since their mother died and their father sent the girls away and is impetuous and headstrong.
This is a story of what happens to women during war and the actions they take to survive. It took me a long time to work up the desire to read this one as I kept hearing it was heart-wrenching and sad. Yep, it's a weeper but beautiful too. 5 stars for this epic story.
