To discuss resistance fighters from an English perspective through the form of letters makes it seem very realistic. I want to gain a broader view of how people reacted to war, persecution with such bravery.<br /><br />Thanks for offering this book.<br /><br />bstilwell12 at comcast dot netBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558106690772183936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-54909305921968526362009-08-31T15:16:36.177-04:002009-08-31T15:16:36.177-04:00The review alone is why I want to read this book.

Aside from the absolutely wonderful title, I adore history and biographys, My name is Mary Ann lol, and I think the character Amelia sounds like a lot of fun! Mainly, the book is about real people in real times and I'd love to get to know them better :)M.A.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14924439808069320143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-22730482996898923632009-08-27T21:55:41.939-04:002009-08-27T21:55:41.939-04:00I would like to read this book because it is told ...I would like to read this book because it is told through letters of the different characters. It is a different format from the novels I usually read. Also because I'm a history buff and the story takes place during WWII so it will be interesting to read about characters that live in a German occupied area.<br /><br />jen4777[at]hotmail.comJenny N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12175597395445772605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-12149119422668282052009-08-27T21:42:20.537-04:002009-08-27T21:42:20.537-04:00mt girlfriend read it & has rccommended it to ...mt girlfriend read it & has rccommended it to me, I need a good end of summer read,,thx for contest..<br />thehighflyer3(at)hotmail(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
