Outstanding read

All of this was so worthwhile. The story, the narrator, and the history. I have been “stuck” in WW2 for a few years. This was a very refreshing perspective.

Beautifully crafted story

I devoured every minute of this wonderful
world war 2 story.
The characters so vivid, I knew each one.
I will search for the Reader first, as criteria
for my next book. He feels like
an old friend I desire to see again..

The courage of Sebastian and his love of life!

I liked all the various characters! The story shows that different people can all work together.

Loved this story

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrator was wonderful with a beautiful voice. The author has written such an amazing story with interesting characters. I loved the eloquent speech of each person and most of all that of Sebastian.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

A different approach to WW2 with delightful characters. Reminiscent of Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Loved it.
