" This story defies any category, being historical fiction, a love story, and getting to details of WWII and the Nazis you don't think about as far as their infiltrating the U.S., told by a mother who is dying from cancer to her son who had just assumed many things about his parents that weren't entirely true, or even close to what he thought was the reality of his mother and father's life together. It was slow to get into, but gripping as the story picked up. "
