The beginning of this book really threw me for a loop. It was straight up romance and I actually went back to the Goodreads synopsis to make sure I was reading the right book. Part 2 starts the war portion of this book which is the focus throughout the rest of the story and is so incredibly well done. I couldn't believe how in-depth and strong the descriptions of life during war were. I could have done without the granddaughter's point of view and the ending seemed superfluous but the middle section make this book more than worth a read.
