review 1: I really wasn't too excited by this book.. The author wrapped everything up in a pretty bow. If only life were really that wonderful. Everyone got the guy in the end they all lived very interesting and productive lives, in fairy tale like setting. The only controversy came in the last third of the book when a question of parentage came into play, and again everyone down to the last character thought the result was just so wonderful, so much acceptance just really doesn't happen in real life.
review 2: Knowing how much work it takes to put out a novel, I feel that Ms. Bradford did an admirable job of recording a sequence of events. However, she has done much better in the past and for that reason alone I keep picking up her books to see if the magic happens
... moreagain, but it just doesn't. Perhaps it is typical of the English to show no emotion, to reveal nothing, but for a reader, that is exactly what this novel does. It states the facts, relates the emotions, but evokes no response from the reader. The only thing I got from reading this book was the realization that PTSD may just be the real reason no war will ever truly be won. If exposure to war can so warp an individual after only a relatively short period of exposure, how can those who are involved in such a life style over a span of generations ever come to a peaceful existance? less
