I adored Eddie Winston and Bella's friendship ALMOST as much as Lenni and the chaplain's friendship in Marianne Cronin's previous novel. You most likely would enjoy this if you enjoyed Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy or Marianne Cronin's One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot (One of my all-time favorite reads). There is a lot of depth, description, and lovable characters packed into just over 300 pages. That said, it feels purposeful, not overwhelming or complicated to track. The dual timeline was done SO well. I rarely enjoy that writing style; however, in this case, it added to the story rather than detracted from it.
