This is the first Reg Hill book I've read. And I'm quite certain it won't be my last. It was lent to me by a friend at work. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The style of writing was truly great. The depth of characters held my attention throughout. I loved the toing and froing of the characters, with all their good and bad points. It really made me think about what I would do in a certain situation. Even when you think someone is maybe the bad person, their actions sometimes conflict otherwise. Maybe they are not what they really are but are only portrayed as such because that is what you are told to think. And then there are people who you think will act one way but will actually act another through desperate times and needs. I didn't want to give anything away about the plot here as the story unfolds at its own pace. You'll find out how each person ends up at the end of the war, whether good or bad. This is a book worth reading if you want a different view of the occupied French at a most difficult time. It offers a unique perspective and keeps you engaged from start to finish.
