I have not read any others that take place in Albania.

I loved all the characters in the book' Reader review'Powerful, gripping, and emotional.

It's another look at the horrors of World War II and how simple ordinary people went to great lengths to protect those that were being persecuted.

I highly recommend' Reader review'Outstanding - the best book I have read in a long time.

Before reading this book I knew nothing about the history of Albania but learnt from reading this novel and it has instilled me to find out more.

The characters were all very likeable.' Reader review'My first book by this author and what a revelation ... a tale of courage, hope and love. It's quite a harrowing journey, and I'm so delighted to have had the privilege to be on it.
