A review by dog_eared_bookworm
On Isabella Street by Genevieve Graham

4.25

Wow! This was my first HF set in the ‘60s, and I loved both the characters and the story.

Told in dual POV, Genevieve Graham once again focused on lesser known/discussed Canadian history - deinstitutionalization, as well as Canada’s role in the Vietnam War. 

Told from the female and Canadian perspective, this book contained some solid heartbreak, but it also had a happy/hopeful ending. There was even some romance, which I always appreciate. 

Self discovery, the power of friendship, and the small world phenomenon drive this tale

The note to readers at the end was fantastic, as always - I never ever skip hers, and recommend you don’t either!

Overall, another must read historical fiction - I highly recommended picking this up
