This book was written contemporaneously during the initial occupation of France by Germany in World War II. It offers a complex and probably a more realistic version of occupation. People get used to their new situation and at some level some come to accept it. The author was Jewish and she was arrested and murdered at Auschwitz in 1942.

Parents are best friends and they were raised as siblings, but there’s always been something there. After her world falls apart she returns home to heal from devastating losses, she finds herself along the way. And also, a live that has been there all along.

Strong character development that allows the reader to truly feel the emotions of the story and bond with the characters. Good representation of inequities for females during the time period as well as in STEM fields. Quality writing that kept me hooked!

enjoyed the trilogy. it's for young adults but if you like magic and monsters this one is fun

A classic - worth reading again...

It is good I like how it talks about a girl who has a lot of siblings and wants her own room and faces the challenges along the way
