A dual timeline between WWII and 1985, with 2 POV's. An enjoyable, heartfelt read.
Rory is dealing with an overbearing mother and her finance, Hux, being kidnapped in Sudan. She doesn't know if he is alive or dead. Her mother doesn't understand why she doesn't move on.
Soline is a woman dealing with hurt. She's lost every person and thing she ever loved. She was once a seamstress that made beautiful dresses but after a fire at her boutique she can no longer sew. She hasn't been able to get part with her shop.
Two women destined to meet. They help each other. One with how to deal with not knowing if your love is alive, the other with helping you to learn how to live again.
Barbara Davis is an amazing writer. This is the second book I have read by her and I loved it. She has strong women characters that survive regardless of their circumstances. Rory and Soline both developed throughout the book, as well as the minor characters. After reading, I felt like I was leaving friends. Davis writes in a way that transfers the reader into each scene. I felt everything each character was going through.
If you haven't read a book by Barbara Davis, you need to go to your local library or book store and grab one. I plan on reading everything she writes.
