review 1: I absolutely loved this book. It was well-written, well-researched, and kept me on my toes. I could never have imagined the turns it was about to take, each twist was a shock. My heart ached with joy, distress, and longing as I watched Benny's life come to an end. But it was so much more than that - it was also watching his entire life and the lives of three generations of Fairfleet residents. It was a story of triumph, of failure, and of accepting in order to let go. Rosamond's employer knew that she'd be the perfect match for Benny Gault, but probably didn't know how perfect. Not only were there a myriad of secrets for Benny to reveal before he could die in peace, there were many more to be revealed by Rosamond before she could live in peace. The two are perfect soul-bea... morerers for each other, each able to understand each other more than anyone else alive could.
review 2: I loved this novel, and it stayed with me long after I finished reading. Moody and evocative with a dramatic twist, and such a convincing sense of time and place. I was completely sucked into the early WW2 era, despite coming to the story knowing nothing of this part of British/German history. The main characters are richly drawn, and the deeper I delved into their lives, the more I cared about them, and the more I wanted to know.A compelling read, and beautifully written. less
