Crossing Stones by Helen Frost
4.0
We follow Muriel Jorgensen who has grown up next door to the Normans. She is best friends with their daughter, Emma, and everyone expects her to marry their son, Frank. All that changes when he enlists to fight in World War I. We follow the lives of the Normans and the Jorgensens as they face the challenges of war back on the home front.
I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did but Crossing Stones charmed me. Normally I don’t much care for the switching of perspectives but here I really did enjoy seeing the world from all the characters points of view. I was very emotionally invested in the characters. Muriel was relatable as was Emma. It had be snorting with laughter and sniffling. Written in verse, you definitely don’t want to miss it.
