The review
1970 — Charlotte and her father, Noah, start a side project of sorts. Noah, who just confessed to his daughter that he was an agent for the military during WWII, wants to track down the person responsible for saving his life.
1940s — Chloe and Fleur are two women tapped by a secret agency to serve the military. One wants to survive to raise her son, who already lost his father to the war, and the other happened upon a whirlwind romance in her military service and wants to see what that relationship looks like after the war.
Kelly Rimmer has a way of taking some of the common WWII storylines and giving such heart to them. I don’t always read a WWII fiction, but when I do, it’s either by her or Kate Quinn.
I also really loved this one on audio, so check that out if you’re looking for your next listen!
Will I remember the details of this book in a month? Probably not. But I enjoyed the emotional ride while it lasted!
Note: I adored THE THINGS WE CANNOT SAY by Rimmer — highly recommend that one too!
