Additional Reviews from Amazon:
An unexpected pleasure to read. Yes it did begin in WWII. Thus it is a war story. Filled with the romance of genuine and complex characters. Julie has made my spirit soar and tears roll down my cheeks in sorrow.
Clever historical read. A fantastic fictional read based on the author's own family history, with various threads woven together in a really clear and satisfying way. I don't usually enjoy this time period but this was a really inintriguing read. Highly recommended.
I am only part way through but this is a very captivating book!
Great! Wonderful book.
I really enjoyed this book. It's an emotional character-driven story that weaves together love, family and long-held secrets across generations. The relationships were really compelling. they felt messy and real, and the historical backdrop added depth without overpowering the personal stories.
Goodreads:
This book weaves together multiple characters and storylines in a way that slowly reveals how deeply connected their choices and relationships really are. I especially enjoyed the emotional tension and layered character development, which made the story feel personal and believable instead of overly dramatic. Readers who enjoy character-driven fiction, family secrets, and stories about complicated human relationships will likely find this novel both engaging and thought-provoking.
