It took me quite a while to get into this book - it was hard to follow some of the spy stuff and the ties between different countries if you don't already know about all the countries involved in WWII and the history of them. Such as knowing that the South Africans used to be Dutch, and that their language is derived from Flemish, which is spoken in parts of Belgium. Also, with this being the sequel to another story that was about the love story between the two main characters, a lot of the back story is missing. But it was generally an enjoyable story and I learned more about the WWII era by reading this.
The writing style is OK, not a quick read, but not laborious, either. Some of the descriptions in it are pretty graphic, but that's to be expected when you are dealing with war and the Holocaust.
