This was really really good! This story follows the lives of three brothers and how they start out on their own in the world. You live with the boys as they go to college and the loves that they find. The major themes through out the book are love and family. However it is 1939 in Europe, so it walks you through the beginning of the WWII to the end and beyond. It follows the lives of these boys and how the war really affects a Jewish family during this time period. She made the stories and the characters very personal to the point to where you really connected with the characters and their lives. It has a lot of history in the pages with a large amount of French, Hungarian and German names (places, streets, buildings etc...) that I had trouble pronouncing so I could really picture where they were. That was the only real difficult I had with the book but it was a beautifully written story.
