I enjoyed how the plot lines were eventually woven together at the end. The one thing I did like was that the women in the book were strong figures, and not figures that necessarily needed another person to feel as if they could function with the exception of one character, but still strong-willed in nature. The sisters each had their own unique personalities, and more were developed than others, some of which I would have liked to see. The characters throughout the text were typically archetypal in nature, but relatable all the same. Through the variety of characters, they each establish their own unique, but intertwining story-lines that develop over the course of the text. These families are primarily well-to-do aristocrats who were not necessarily deeply troubled by the war effort. Set in the center of WWII, this novel depicts a variety of lives as impacted by the war.
