A review by bookishquilter
Annapolis by William Martin
5.0
An amazing story from beginning to end!
As a Navy wife I did not know very much about naval history. This book kept me engaged through so many wars and conflicts that I had only heard about in passing. The locations are so vividly described. I have visited Annapolis and lived in Hawaii. I was able to see the locations in my head as I read the descriptions.
Not only did I learn so much about history but the fictional family was a joy to read about. They were just as flawed and optimistic as anyone else in the world and their reactions to history unfolding made me think about how I would have reacted. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from this author.
