review 1: I will admit - this book certainly conjures images of pre-WWII England. However, the beauty ends there. I really wanted to like May, Julian and Evangeline - I didn't. I often felt that their stories didn't intertwine properly. Often Nicolson would start a thought and then trail off into a different direction - making me scratch my head. A disappointment of a read. Probably more of a 2.5 out of 5 - however, I will give her added points for breathing life into the era. I felt that she tried too hard - almost writing more of a screenplay - giving the director huge amounts of details for set direction.
review 2: I didn't give it one star (even though I was close) only because I didn't hate it. I disliked it. But, I didn't hate it. We read it for book club. I had a ... morereally hard time getting into it and I finally just forced myself to read. When I had to put it down, I did not miss it and life would have been perfectly fine if I never picked it back up again. I was the only person in my group that actually finished the book in time and I really couldn't give anyone a good reason why they should bother finishing it . It was just bland. less
