This book is billed as taking place in one day. While it does build up to an event on a specific day, half of the book is flashbacks getting us to the day. There are a lot of characters and jumping around and French names, making it hard to keep track. I think the 4 characters are: Painter, Puppet Master, Writer, Mother.

D-Day girls appeals to anyone interested in WW2, women's war efforts, and anyone interested in reading about unsung war heroes. Women in the Resistance were many and their actions far-reaching. A good read with some uncommon stories.

Fi, upon arriving home, finds another family moving into her house. The mystery must unravel from there. Is there a mistake or has her house been stolen out from under her? Very intriguing plot with a few twists and turns throughout. I enjoyed how it unfolded between Fi and Bram's statements and current day narrative.
