As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed Jenoff’s latest book. I admire her adept storytelling skills and her ability to craft gripping narratives and develop well-rounded characters. She consistently illuminates lesser-known aspects of World War II history, striking a balance between fiction and historical accuracy. I enjoyed the emotional depth and complexity of the characters' experiences, as well as the exploration of themes such as sacrifice, bravery, and resilience.

Overall, this is a captivating and well-researched novel. I was immersed in the dangerous and heroic world of resistance fighters during Nazi-occupied Europe. The book's exploration of themes such as sacrifice, bravery, and the resilience of the human spirit resonated strongly with me.

I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction and World War II literature.

Pam Jenoff has turned into a reliable source of comfort reads (WWII) for me. By now she knows how to put you in that time and place succinctly, almost like your favorite airport shoes. You put them on and you know where you are going for the journey.
I did spot the villain of the story (besides the Nazis) pretty much straight away, so there is that.
I liked the underground line as a venue, the downed airmen, the safe houses, false papers, train rides, walks on foot, etc.
And if love triangles put you off, it's a big plot point, just be warned

If you'd like to read another WWII fiction that deals with a refugee ship turned away from American shores, I recommend Munich Signature by Bodie Thoene
