Good Story

Everything was good about this audible, but in the reading the constant saying of he said, she said, I said was getting bad. I was enjoying the story but in a few parts this repetitive back and forth of she said , he said was getting annoying.

Best

This was the best WWII historical fiction I’ve read in a very long time (and I read or listen to A LOT!).

Once book finally started it was so good

This is my favorite genre and I wasn’t DISAPPOINTED once story actually started At times I had to literally walk away from it And no Marguerite I’ll never forget what you and other did for for the cause to free France

Too cliche.

This was such a cliche book. Every situation ended in a predictable way. I just didn’t enjoy it and at times I felt the story didn’t flow well. Just my opinion. Narrator was great though!
