An incredible book written about an incredible woman's experiences during WWII. Her positivity is inspiring - although obviously based on a horrific part of history, it's amazing to read about the strength of the human spirit and the meaning even a few books can bring to people in the worst of situations. Surprisingly the writing was more captivating than many English novels and, if I hadn't known, I wouldn't have guessed this was a translation from Spanish. Definitely one of my favourite novels.
