Next to Love by Ellen Feldman

4.0

this book takes us from 1940 to the late 1960's. it follows the lives of three girlfriends: grace, millie and babe (bernadette). these three women find themselves in love or married to men going off to fight in WWII.

the chapters are told in time increments, i.e. 1941 - 1945. the reader hears the account of events from all of the three women. this book deals with the losses the women face and the way war can change not only the men that fight overseas, but the family and friends they leave behind.

an interesting perspective of the second world war.
