PositiveHistorical Novel SocietyTold primarily through the eyes of fictional sisters Yvette and Gabby, the story can be seen as an homage to the women whose brave actions were integral to the underground French resistance ... The book has it all: high fashion, spies, romance, loss, healing, mystery, sisterhood, friendship, and strong female protagonists. The two timelines can be a little confusing to keep track of, particularly as they take place only a couple of years apart, but in general, it is a fast-paced, well-told story that transports the reader to a memorable time in world history.

PositiveHistorical Novel Society... at once an adventure story, a love story, and a dissolution of love story ... Though the storytelling is evocative, transporting the reader to the harsh Norwegian landscape, it is not a traditional novel likely to make a list of popular bestsellers. Rather, it is a tale waiting to be discovered for readers who appreciate quiet literary gems.

PositiveForeword ReviewsGrisly details and uncommon perspectives make this a psychologically captivating mystery, if not one for the squeamish ... The perspectives of abductors, abductees, the police, and a forensic physician provide a well-rounded view ... This is a novel that keeps the reader guessing, gradually revealing clues and maintaining interest throughout.
