While it has some to do with WWII most of what's happening is afterwards. As we all know, the ravages of war are not all over just because someone has lost the battles. There are many other battles still raging ! I'm sure you would enjoy this book!<br />Olivia Morris https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-1439503457452058712022-02-07T21:18:53.621-06:002022-02-07T21:18:53.621-06:00Barbara, I'm sure you would enjoy this book. ...Barbara, I'm sure you would enjoy this book.

During my recent irritation in finding a book that would hook me (my reading rut) I had tried to read a story with an interesting premise set in the WWII era. But it did not hook me at all. The story of Olive and Margery sounds like one I would enjoy. Thank you for the review.Dawn Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482631999129705606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-27842523583210109582022-02-05T11:33:35.641-06:002022-02-05T11:33:35.641-06:00This sounds like a winner.

I was a post war baby, but I still find that there is so much to learn from those who went through so many trials and tribulations. It makes peace so much more important to me when I read about the atrocities. I truly hope never to see any of them first hand.<br />Olivia Morris https://www.blogger.com/profile/00711607646097689874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-2386901959225180942022-02-02T13:42:27.634-06:002022-02-02T13:42:27.634-06:00Excellent review Olivia.

I love what you said about a loving heart bringing good and bad things together to make a beautiful patchwork that is family. When you do not want a book to end you know you have found a really good book :) Thank you for your review and recommendation.

War definitely leaves pain and suffering that survivors struggle to overcome, if they ever overcome it. Rebuilding a life, especially without family, would be difficult indeed. Reading the review, I was thinking how these two women were fortunate to have each other. Sounds like a great book!

I have read a lot, both true stories and fiction, just like you. Hubby and I both shared this interest, especially stories placed in England. We even went on a 50th Anniversary tour of the U.S. 8th & 9th Air Force arrival in England in 1942. So I completely believe I will find this book a fascinating read.
