  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Ce livre m'a fait chavirer, je ne m'attendais à un tel voyage, un tel naufrage ; parce qu'il renferme bien plus que ce qu'on croit (un secret). C'est le genre de lecture qui marque profondément, et qui surprend ; le genre de coup de foudre inattendu.
Ce sont ces coups de cœur-là, les meilleurs, indéniablement. ^^

Donnez-lui sa chance.

I had to read this book for school but was able to choose for myself.
Firstly, I must say I wasn't fully convinced by how the story started. It just seemed like any other book I had to read for school. Nothing I truly enjoy BUT! As I continued I got drawn by the story and was at the edge of my seat, started to empathise with the characters and it did really grip me.
It's not the typical book of a story about WW2 what I also liked.
I nearly cried while reading the end and that hardly ever happens!
The last chapter was so touching and definitely my favourite!
Definitely my favourite book I have ever read for school!

Finally done.
It wasn't a bad book, the topic was even pretty interesting. But I didn't really understand all of it as it was in French. Maybe that's also why I found it rather boring at times.
