Great start of a new series from a top historical fiction author

Det føltes mere intenst at høre om krigens grusomheder oplæst, end når jeg selv læser. Men bortset fra at søstrene klarer sig fantastisk alene, for så at blive hjælpeløse når der kommer en mand på banen, er det en rigtig god og realistisk bog. Tror jeg læser næste bog selv.
