Wonderful light read

I liked the characters. They each had worked hard to figure out what they want out of life. It's nice when you can do it together.

Interesting to learn more about cooks in the army in WWII.

Revisado: 01-23-25

Spoiler alert!!

It was easy to like this story of Staff Sergeant Benjamin. He was a older than most draftees and already had a great deal of experience working as a cook. The bonus was that he was a religious Jew and understood all of the kosher rules for cooking and preparing food.

I liked how he kept calm and sought to use wisdom as he dealt with his men and the others he encountered. I found myself snickering sometimes and crying others, so the story yields a nice range of emotion.

When Sergeant Benjamin began his work with the Displaced Persons, it was particularly sad and emotional. Dealing with the aftermath of the Holocaust should never be taken lightly, and this book finds a nice balance.

I think the book should include some type of epilogue to portray how Sergeant Benjamin has married and he and his wife have at least 3 children. I have heard and read that many Jewish families have more than 2 children as a way to remember the loss of so many Jewish lives after the Holocaust. What better way to show that Sergeant Benjamin has gained even more understanding from his experiences?

Jody Hedland is an excellent storyteller.

Nice story about a young woman going west as a mask order bride to Colorado to give her consumptive sister a chance at the high mountain air. The twists and turns associated with poor communication change her situation in an unexpected way.

About the little known Battle of the Atlantic

Revisado: 07-07-24

Sarah Sundin is one of my favorite WW2 authors. This book is the first in a series about the navy during WW2. It begins before the war in the U.S. shipyards and with the lend lease program. Mary and Jim each have challenges and weaknesses they need to work on separately and together.

A favorite book now available on audiobook

Revisado: 06-27-24

I have really enjoyed the Nightingale series by Sarah Sundin and have anxiously anticipated the release of the other two books in this series on audiobook. The books are great, and now i can recommend the audiobooks, too.

Different worlds collide but can learn to live together in harmony

Rosemary Gresham is from London. The seedy parts of London, actually. Peter Holstein is from Germany--no, England-- and the coast of Cornwall. This story is what happens when the scrappy Londoner collides with the German-English gentleman.

Kate and Trevor have an unconventional, unexpected relationship.

Revisado: 03-08-24

This is my favorite book by Elizabeth Camden, and that is a high compliment. i have enjoyed many of her books. it took a long time before i would read it because I knew it was many years later than the setting of this book before Tuberculosis was actually treated successfully. But I decided to read it anyway, and I greatly enjoyed it. It's also important to be reminded of the sacrifices that many have made so we could have more effective treatments and even cures for our ailments.

I have enjoyed many of Laura Frantz 's books. and there are some I didn't really like. This one is interesting and the setting is amazing. But it isn't one of my favorites.

Another triumph for Sarah Sundin

Revisado: 02-18-24

I appreciate Ms. Sundin's ability to immerse her readers in the World War 2 era. The story was well crafted with a focus on problems that were particularly troubling during WW2 and continue to be debated now.
