This was a very interesting book and is a soon to be released movie. It is about a young girl who is given to a foster home in a different country. She adapts to her new life and learns how to read. This is during WWII. Eventually, tragedy strikes. What is interesting about the book is that it is narrated by Death. I didn't like that to start but it gets better. This may be the last book I get in before the year ends as I am working on Drums of Autumn which is 4th in the Outlander series.
