 Such a change from the normal war stories March 28, 2008
This story follows two lovers through the trials of living in occupied Belgium. Shreve takes you to Belgium and leads you into the terrifying world of WWII. It is heartrenching story and I cried at the sad tale. But don't let that put you off, it made for compelling reading - it made such a change from all the other WWII stories of battles and male heroics. This book shows a different side to the War and having studied WWII for years at school and college it gave a different perspective. But i only thought about that once I had finished the book and left Shreve's Belgium.
A wonderful read November 24, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I adored this book and couldn't wait to find the time to read each chapter. It is a rather different genre for Anita Shreve, but her gentle, straightforward style of writing remains to the credit of this book. It is the story of the Resistance in Belgium and of Ted, an American pilot whose plane has crashed and who is rescued by the child of a Nazi collaborator. He is hidden and nursed back to health by Clare Dussois, the wife of Henri, a Resistance member. Although Clare has nursed many others and helped them to escape, something special develops between herself and Ted, amidst the Nazi atrocities being carried out around them. Clare lives in constant fear of being discovered by the Germans or of being betrayed by others and the tension is very apparent. There are many horrific facts written within this story but, running through it, is a gentle love story and this makes this book much more than a testament to those brave people who risked their lives to save others. I reflected upon events and what the alternatives may have been, long after I had finished this wonderful book.
 Interesting historically, but weak on the story. July 16, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I enjoyed reading this book, but less for the story than the historical context that was given. The vivid depiction of life as a resistance fighter was quite overwhelming to read, and it became possible to relate to the thoughts and feelings of the characters in that situation. Unfortunately, the novel took the direction of a love story, which was adequate. I'm not sure if it was intended as a vehicle for the rest of the story, perhaps a general centralized point for the rest of the narrative to branch off from.
Despite the limits of the actually story I found the book a fascinating read, and worthwhile.
A rather flat love story. September 19, 2002
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Even though it's one of my favourite periods of history to read about, I found this book strangely uninspiring. The historical facts are interesting and chilling, but the love story felt strangely banal. In a lot of ways this book would have been more interesting without the love story, which feels weird to say since the love story is the deeper story of resistance in this book.On the positive side it was quite difficult to guess the outcome and you were left wondering about many things right until the last chapter. I think this is the kind of book that you take with you when you travel, or that you keep by your bedside when you don't have time to devote yourself completely to a story. I found that I enjoyed it while reading it, but I didn't miss it when I didn't.
Gripping love story set in Belgium in the Second World War. March 17, 2000
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting! It's set in World War II in occupied Belgium and is the story of downed fighter pilot, Ted Brice, and his relationship with Resistance member, Claire Dussois. The writer really makes you imagine how terrifying life must have been for people in an occupied country and the fear that they lived under on a daily basis. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story and I have to say that the ending, whilst fairly unexpected, is satisfying although a bit on the sad side! Excellent stuff!
