Die Vorfreude auf dieses Buch hat dafür gesorgt, dass ich mir bereits im Vorfeld weitere historische Romane (auch bereits gelesene) besorgt habe, um diesen Genre endlich wieder zu frönen.

Zum Glück wurde ich trotz dieser Vorfreude nicht enttäuscht und konnte mich an dieser Liebeserklärung an des Buchwesen im historischen Gewand vollkommen erfreuen.

Billed as a stand alone but has crossover characters and concurrent storylines so if you read this one first it will majorly spoil The Dictionary of Lost Words.

Maude fiel es schwer, eigene Sätze zu formulieren, aber sie suchte sich sehr genau aus, was sie wiederholte. Ich glaube, sie begriff, dass das meiste, was die Leute sagten, bedeutungslos war. 

Buch Nr. 2 auf der Liste mit Büchern, in denen Zwillinge nicht nur Pappaufsteller sind; was für sich auf dem Buchmarkt eine kleine Rarität ist. Fernab davon mochte ich Stil, Arrangement der Briefe und Kapitel, Figuren (mit Eastereggs) und den Plot sehr gerne. Mehr dazu dann im Lesekreis.

A really lovely, heartfelt story. Beautifully written, incredibly well researched and a lovely depiction of female life during the war.
