Disappointing
Derived From Web , Jun 21, 2021
The chapters The characters weren 't World War II themed I don 't like Dev I 't like books about World War II. Bonus : I usually like World War II - themed books, especially when they involve families. This was so disappointing. The characters were developed poorly. In my opinion, the two character story line wasn 't necessary. In both stories, so much was unbelievable.

They Answered The Call
Derived From Web , Dec 13, 2020
I really enjoyed this book ''. Very well written, at times very suspenseful and an excellent weave of the stories of three women who had seen better times in their lives. It is a story of the bravery of women who have put their lives in jeopardy during some of our darkest hours, and I was happy to learn their story.

This was a historical work of wonderful fiction by Pam Jenoff.

Glaring Anachronisms
Derived From Web , Apr 15, 2019
Thank you to all the readers who have disliked this book. I thought it might be only my picky reading that found so many inaccuracies and anachronisms, but it seems I am not alone. I have read only a fraction of the book so far and it has me cringing a lot ''. Meticulous research? As others have said, don 't waste your money unless silly historical romances are your cup of tea.
