The War I Finally Won by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
5.0
“I love you,” I whispered. I buried my head against Susan’s shoulder. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you before.” “Don’t be sorry,” she whispered back. “I know you love me. You know I love you too.”
Because several people suggested that I listen to the second half of Ada’s story, I tried the audio version of Bradley’s book, The War I Finally Won. The audio is good and I enjoyed it. However, listening always takes me longer than reading and so I was a bit anxious that it would all work out. Don’t ask me why I get concerned about stories, I should know that authors work for their characters’ best interests.
Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of Ada’s tale. This is a good novel, written for children, but anyone would enjoy it. I am especially glad that the characters stayed within their established personalities and that the adults continued as they were in the first novel. It would have been weird, for example, if Lady Thornton had had a complete change of heart.
I may have to look for more books by Bradley. She told me a wonderful story and taught me a lot as well.
