I really enjoyed this book, it was nice to have a different venue for a WW2 story. I enjoyed the change from character to character, although part of me wishes that they would have kept to a certain few characters rather than just who the author felt like writing from.
I really enjoyed the "settling" that happened throughout the story. It was nice to have that leveling displayed. There wasn't always a happy ending, and sometimes you just had to make due. I'm not even talking about the deaths that happened, I'm talking about in marriages, when a family member decides to leave, when an event you thought would be great turns your stomach. It was nice to see the characters not have an "everything is great until this war" kind of life, it made the story seem less fictional and more grounded.
