Beginning was a bit slow for me but once it really begins to pick up, it does not stop. 
Both narratives blend together seamlessly in the final arc; everything comes full circle.
One of my favorite epilogues ever written; really pulled on the heart-strings.

5.0

Historical fiction is usually not my bag, but I loved this book. I listened to the audio book and enjoyed so much the story about two women working through anger, pain, and responsibility for war. Great catharsis and a little bit of romance. Obviously, this book deals with some heavy topics so watch out!

4.0

A historical fiction novel that spans across World War 1 and just after World War 2. The story is told from 2 different perspectives. One focuses on experiences during World War 1, and the other is set during “modern day” (1947 for the this book).
