I like that it seems like a very different setting for a WWII novel. Normally what I've read takes place in a big city but obviously big or small everyone was affected so it would be interesting to read this one.

And also of Ann Howard Creel's novel The Magic of Ordinary Days. I like reading books set in this time period. Even when they have poignant story lines and less-than-happy endings.

You make me want to move it up some. Many years ago, I read a novel called The Summer of My German Soldier, about a POW. I was in 8th grade (13 yrs old). I still have the book, actually (I never did return it like I was supposed to). The description of this one reminded of that one a bit. Although I imagine this one is much more complex a story.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-73265417092232951102017-02-06T07:10:03.045+08:002017-02-06T07:10:03.045+08:00Jenclair - Yes, indeed.

Sometimes we do not think of the consequences beforehand until they hit us thereafter (or sometimes it's because we haven't thought of the effects they may cause.)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-55618182782067411322017-02-05T22:49:11.429+08:002017-02-05T22:49:11.429+08:00Unintended consequences--I guess we are all famili...Unintended consequences--I guess we are all familiar with this phenomenon on both large and small scales.
