Loved the London setting. Lots of different voices are heard. Lots of twists and turns that are written in so naturally that they don‘t feel unbelievable. The ending makes you want to read the next book! You gain an insight into what might be going on behind closed doors and the potential dark paths that the super rich can go down. Libby is surprisingly very relateable!!

This was a crime thriller novel that I picked up at a hostel I recently stayed at in Switzerland - I don‘t usually go for this kind of book but it was the only English one there! It was an easy read and entertaining following all the different characters. I felt like there were a couple of storyline‘s that didn‘t loop up as nicely as I would have expected but overall not a bad read.

I read this book in 2 days. It was captivating and incredibly moving. The human spirit is so strong and even under conditions that are impossible to imagine, the mind can find peace. Amanda and Nigel went through a horrific kidnapping and this story describes Amanda‘s experiences which brought me to tears on several occasions. The forgiveness and compassion she showed was truly inspiring and I will reflect back on this story in my day to day life.

This book was emotional, informative, captivating and beautifully written. I finished it in tears and with a new appreciation for what people endured during World War 2.
The women in this book are full of grit, love, passion and bravery. These pages capture a side of the war we often don‘t hear about. This is a must read to remind ourselves of the suffering people went through to give us the lives of freedom we live today.
