Very light

If you're looking for an exceptionally light and brief WW 2 historical fiction this one is for you. The story moves along quickly with generally happy endings. The narration is good minus the American accents.

Great historical fiction.

Love the narrators ability to give different voices as well as their intonation while reading. I’m bummed she isn’t narrating the other books in the series. The only thing I had a hard time with was remembering which characters were connected and how. That’s kind of a struggle I have with many series when I first get into them though.
