Started this book last spring and never finished, restarted this summer and finally got to the end! Loved all the twists and turns

one of the best I survived stories so much action

One of the best books I've read in the category of historical fiction/holocaust. The characters were vivid and real; I mourned my loss of them in my life as soon as the book concluded. The settings and plot where developed with great detail and care. Having returned my copy to my local library, I immediately ordered a copy from Amazon for purposes of loaning and rereading. I highly, highly recommend, especially to anyone interested in the world history of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I just love TJR!

Super cute cozy fantasy

Loud

I had to look up a lot of words but it was a great book. My favorite sentence… August finally came in with a blast that shook my house and augured little augusticity.

I read this to my little cousin. He loved it!
