The Daughter's Tale - Armando Lucas Correa

In 1939 thinks have become hard for young Dr Julius, his wife Amanda and their two young girls Lina and Viera.  After Julius is arrested and their bookstore is torched  Amanda is forced to make the hardest of choices to save her daughters.  Based on a true story you can't help but feel for how hard things must have been as nowhere in Europe is safe from the War.

I enjoyed the setting of the book and the characters, I just felt a little short changed with some of it as there was little depth.  To be German in a small French village during the occupation would not have been without many challenges especially attending school.  I wanted to hear more about the girls and their experiences which seemed a little thin.  Still it was a good read, just not a great one. 4/5
