This book was great. I don't generally read books that are set in a different time. And I especially don't read books with a war/military setting as I find it too depressing.
I don't want to give away spoilers, so hopefully this is spoiler free!! :)
However, this book had love, hate and family at it's heart and it was a pleasure to read. An awesome twist toward the end kept it engaging until the last pages.
Set in the 50's, we meet Hedy. Her family has been ripped apart and she needs to find out more to put her mind to rest. But does she really want to uncover the truth when it may not be what she expects? Her mother Ruby is an interesting character, she starts taking drugs to cope with life and her father Todd is having trouble dealing with his military work.
We make our way through to a more recent time and eventually we see everything come together and be explained, and this is where we get that little satisfied tying-up-of-loose-ends feeling.
A good read, one I would recommend.
