Feels like I’ve been reading a lot about children separated from their parents during WWII. This one was different. Child wasn’t Jewish but an English girl whose parents sent her to the US for her safety. Multiple love triangles. Practicality above all. A lovely little story, but not a lot of deep character development. A bit too superficial to bump up to a four.
Graphic: Death of parent, Grief, War, Car accident, Infidelity, and Pregnancy
