Amazing... a book that I could easily recommend to almost anyone.
A girl finds herself getting close to one of her neighbors, a German refugee who is always alone. And while her town is haunted by a c criminal investigation he tells her his story. A story of a man who had to endure persecution, precarious situation, and heartbreak of all kinds.
An amazing tale of how stories can bring people together. How talking brings you closer to others. The mixture of stories and narrations is incredibly done. Characters who steal your heart in an instant. A book that would make you tear up with sadness and joy.
A story of friendship, survival, of facing the weight of your choices. A book in which I enjoyed every single page.

The Note depicts an unconventional friendship between Jozef and Alice. Alice is 13 and strikes up a friendship with the German guy who reveals his story to her. It’s a touching, compelling story, one that left me sad and thoughtful.
Sometimes terrible choices must be made in life and this book addresses the consequences of making such choices.

A heartbreaking World War Two tale, taking you from the barbed wire of Auschwitz to a sweltering South Carolina summer. The author’s style places the reader in the book in each scene for an entertaining and heartbreaking journey. Awe-inspiring . . . The characters are so well drawn and the storytelling so well paced, I couldn’t put it down. This is definitely one of those special books that I will keep on my shelves to go back to and reread. It says a lot that I am still thinking about this book a few days after finishing it - I will definitely be recommending this one! A gripping read and easy five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OH MY GOSH this book BROKE me. It was so beautifully written with well developed characters and a storyline that although set in a period that is written about a lot it didnt feel recycled or similar to others. this book was so captivating and engaging and at the same time it was so beautifully heartbreaking, I found myself crying tears, and I mean ugly tears several times. this book was completely devastating but in a really good way. It has a very strong place in my heart and will be there for a long time, I am willing to hand it a blankie and snacks and whatever it needs to stay cosy and safe in my heart.
I cannot reccommend this book enough please read it. I need more of this author in my life like yesterday.
