Beautifully takes you back in time

Wow I really enjoyed this story. It switches between 2 perspectives, one set in the modern day and one in world war 2. I wanted to keep reading to find out the fate of their love story. I’ve never read a world was 2 story that really gets into the personal every day lives of the average citizens. This was really refreshing and insightful as to how people once lived. Definitely recommend!
