Comment:
This author has created a large cast of characters. Very similar to the way Agatha Christie wrote in her novels. I enjoyed learning about the setting (the coast of France) as well as unravelling the mystery. I only wish my French was better. The language barrier was occasionally frustrating. But most of the time manageable due to context clues.This author has created a large cast of characters. Very similar to the way Agatha Christie wrote in her novels.

This book was edited poorly. I found it hard to look past this failing. Otherwise, a mildly entertaining read. Enjoyed the Cape Cod setting and Tea Room baking. The relationships between main character (Lily) her grandmother (Rose) and best friend (Bernie) were devoted and affectionate. I particularly appreciated the way the author depicted a single woman following her dreams. Obviously unconcerned about marital prospects. Instead, focused solely on making her thriving business a success.This book was edited poorly. I found it hard to look past this failing. Otherwise, a mildly entertaining read.

Comment:
A story of how two women’s lives are destroyed by WWII. A devastating read. Especially since the characters and events described, although fictional, are not very far off from the reality of so many living at that time. Although painful, it’s important we don’t forget the inhumanity of our past. This book is a great reminder of how fragile our lives really are. How they can be shattered in an instant. We can never take anything for granted. We must always cherish what we have.
One last thing worth mentioning:
I found the book to be predictable. So while the read was incredibly moving and emotional, surprising it was not.A story of how two women’s lives are destroyed by WWII. A devastating read.
