Oh well I’m giving it a low score, our group average was marginally better at 3/10 me a lowly 2/10. A poorly written romance/chicklit about a female resistance fighter in WW2. There are so many better books to read. The Nightingale, which was named Goodreads Best Historical fiction novel for 2015 – WHY?

Score 2/10

Date read April 2017

Not as good as other thrillers by an author who I generally recommend. After the death of the six year old boy that she is looking after and with no memory of what happened. Enough to keep me reading though

Score 5/10
