There are too many unbelievable incidents in this story... a Jewish girl defying her family early this century? Amadea not being tatooed in the concentration camp? (They "forgot"?) The German soldier was killed instantly when Amadea pushed him into a rock? A nun of her conviction having sex with a resistance fighter in the first place, and secondly, not feeling remorse? A nun of her conviction not returning to the convent?The story had promise... history repeating itself, and a celebration of the internal strength of women. But I felt sad and cheated in the end. The fate of Beata and Daphne should not have been left hanging. Amadea assumed they died, and they probably did. But... we didn't know in the end, nor was any mention made of Amadea trying to find out. Its a story full of holes and so much of it is not believable.
