Just finished this beautiful story by Kristin Harmel. I have read most of her novels and she has quickly become one of my favourite historical fiction authors!

This story tells about the Jews who escaped and hid in the woods from the Germans during Ww2. I had never heard this story told before so I found it so fascinating. To learn that entire groups of people camped out for years in the wilderness was mindboggling.

I loved the mystical element with Yona and her 'gift', it gave it a unique feel compared to alot of other historical fiction. I wasn't sure at first I would enjoy it, but Yona grew on me quickly and I felt her story really added to the historical elements.

If you love a good war story and are looking for something a litte different then I would recommend this one! Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the advanced copy!
