Very atmospheric and I loved the inclusion of real historical figures who added to the authenticity of the novel. The characters were also well-drawn, particularly Julia, Eve and Rolf. I just found that the plot was a bit slow at points, almost like it should have been a shorter book or the main plot point should have come earlier in the book. It was like the book built up to what should have been a pivotal moment and then ran out of steam and had to move swiftly on to cover the beginning of Nazi Germany at which point the author had to speed up or else the book would have been even more drawn out.
