When the Summer Was Ours by Roxanne Veletzos
4.0
I really enjoyed The Girl They Left Behind when it was published three years ago, and I’ve been awaiting When the Summer Was Ours. Roxanne Veletzos’ storytelling just gets better and better.
Set in Hungary during World War II, Eva is the daughter of aristocrats, and she’s set to spend her last summer single in Sopron on their estate. She’s marrying a Red Cross doctor and is looking forward to her wedding day.
Things change, though, when Eva meets Aleandro, an easygoing artist of a different class, and they fall in love. Will the couple stay together?
I especially loved Aleandro. He was such a good person and easy to love. I also enjoyed the Hungary setting during and after the war. This book warmed my heart and broke it a few times, too. A sweeping love story on the backdrop of war and tragedy.
I received a gifted copy.
