review 1: This started a little slow but now I'm totally entranced. I'm in love with this book.The book follows the story of a young English woman who had married a Norwegian flyer during World War II. Her husband is killed in the war and she is visiting Norway to meet her father in law and visit with other brides of Norwegian soldiers she had met in the war.This book is beautifully written with a wonderful cadence. I never wanted to put the book down. I'll definitely look for more Rosalind Laker books.
review 2: I loved this book...it was part romance, part mystery, part history lesson.....This is my first book by this author and I am planning on reading all of her others. She took a part of history I knew nothing about and made it come to life without being repetitiv
... moree and overly descriptive. The way she brought the beauty of the Norwegian countryside to life, without seeming overly dramatic or cliched was a nice touch, too. Her characters had depth and flaws. She handled the widowhood of the main character well and allowed her to work through her grief in her way. Highly recommend this book and if her other books are this good, highly recommend the author. less
