A romantic story set during World War 2. It reminds the reader that Hungary was into Nazis and working jewish people to death, just more lightly. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of pre-war Paris, Budapest and Europe from a regular person's point of view. I got very tired of the longing glances, secrets between lovers, repeated questions and answers and ruminations. This book could have been like half the size. I don't like the benevolent generals saving Andros on multiple occasions, it reeks of aristocratic ass kissing. It's not historic, so it's the author's choice and that really took me out of the story and see it for just that, a very sentimental story with eastern front trappings.
