review 1: It was good! I thought that the side story of Ingrid was interesting but took away from the main character's story. I understand the plot drive behind it, but it could have been a book all by itself. It seemed as if the author didn't have enough story and needed a filler. All in all I did like the book, just wish that I could have gotten to know Anna & Ingrid better. It seemed so good in the beginning and then it just rushed through her life and before I knew it, she was an old woman within 10 pgs. This was interesting and def. makes me want to go to Norway and the book was a good read...just felt like the last quarter of the book was rushed.
review 2: The book opens with war-bride Anna Vartdal ready to visit her late husband's family and beloved country of Nor... moreway, ravaged by World War II. It's Midsummer's Eve of 1946, the ship is docking, and Anna will soon join her friend Molly, who had married her late husband's best friend and who also was a pilot for the Royal Air Force of Norway. On that same day Anna is met by the Harvik family lawyer who is rather insistent on Anna accepting the family home and property. Anna tarries in the town of Jessheim with her war-bride friends until Christmas when she finally meets with her father-in-law in the town of Molde.This work of historical fiction paints beautiful pictures of Norway's fjords, mountains, and valleys and made me eager to visit. It also filled me in on how Norway's stalwart citizens coped with the war and resisted the Nazi regime. A lovely book.... less
