4.0
Despite the bleak and war-filled background, this was such a sweet and fuzzy feel-good type of book. The casualties were predictable and even though all the characters had their personalities I didn't feel saddened by their loss. This story was written with such care for the time and the folks who suffered through these horrid tragedies. I would recommend this book to those who love the beauty of books and enjoy the feeling of a welcoming community.
