I love a good WWII story and this one did not disappoint. The story about the three seamstresses who also worked for the French Resistance was fascinating. I know this was a historical fiction and not about real women, but it represented the actions of very brave men and women who fought, in their own way, during Nazi occupation. The part where they were arrested and taken to the labor/concentration camps was heartbreaking. It is awful what humans are capable of and I hope no one has to experience that ever again. But history tends to repeat itself in some form eventually. The secondary story line of Claire's grand-daughter, Harriet, was interesting. Can you imagine learning all of that about your grandmother and her friends? I was so sad when she decided to break it off with her boyfriend because she felt unworthy, unhinged or damaged. Overall, a really great read!
