REVIEW:
If you like history, then this is a must read book. The juxtaposition of past and present kept my interest for the entire story. At times, I almost wished they would stay in the past. All the action and details of what was going on in England in WWII was very fascinating to me. I am not a person who has ever been overly interested in the history of WWII so for the author to have kept my interest means she did her job. The female spy was a cold hearted bitch. She was perfectly described and it was wonderful. You absolutely hated her. And in the present she isn’t much better. Although the author manages to drum up some sympathy for her elderly, confused state, in my book it was too little too late. That bitch was clearly getting what she deserved.
As far as the present and the conflicts there, as the story went on, I was more and more intrigued. So intrigued in fact, that I didn’t mind when the author didn’t jump back to the WWII portion of the story. I really was worried that the hero and heroine wouldn’t be able to solve their differences. I mean how do you reconcile the fact that the man you are falling in love with says your Grandma is a war criminal and wants to send her away for the rest of her life? Luckily they get it all figured out. I wouldn’t say exactly HEA but maybe a Happy As They Can Be. Read the book and you will see for yourself.
