emotional fast-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? No

4.5

Overall really liked this book; it had everything I look for in historical fiction. Minus .25 points because the ending felt too rushed after such a great buildup

En OERHÖRT bra bok. 

Jessica May är modell i usa under andra världskriget men får möjligheten att resa till krigshärjade Europa för att jobba som krigsfotograf. I Europa möter hon lycka och sorg, men framförallt Dan Hallworth och en föräldralös flicka. De nya relationerna förändrar allt i Jess liv och ska sätta spår in i framtiden. 

60 år senare får D'Arcy Hallworth möjligheten att jobba med en fotograf vars identitet är dold. Detta blir början på att familjehemligheter förs ut i ljuset. 

Wow, wow, wow!! Jag vet inte vad jag ska säga men wow. Oerhört fantastiskt skriven och boken förmedlar känslor på ett klockrent sätt. Rekommenderar starkt!!!

I really liked the portions of the book that occurred in the historical setting, but the story from the modern setting was very disappointing. It felt like the modern story was supposed to be more character-driven, but I found those characters to be largely one-dimensional and annoying, largely as a result of how the narrator was written.
