4 posts | 10 read | 12 to read
Everyone has secrets, but some can change your life forever. In the midst of the Second World War, Eva receives the devastating news that her husband is missing and presumed dead. Neither wife nor widow, she lives in a numb state of limbo until, in the heat of an English summer, she meets Bill, a black American GI. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, neither can deny the love that overcomes them in the frantic weeks that follow, when every day could be their last. After Eva discovers she's pregnant, Bill is shipped off to join the D-day fight, leaving her alone in a bigoted world. As her mixed-race daughter, Louisa, grows up, how far will Eva go to keep her safe and bury the past? And how far will Louisa go to uncover the truth?

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It's obvious that the author researched this era, the people, and the social commentary during this time in our history. The characters were easy to love and most times I battled the emotional ups and downs right with them. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another Kindle read/listen while on the run from Hurricane Matthew. I'm a lover of historical fiction, and this story, loosely based on real life, broached a topic I had never considered: the experiences of black GIs in the U.K. during WWII, and the long-lasting effects of those experiences. A beautiful story revolving around the lives of the women of a family deeply affected by racism, violence, grief & loss, struggling to find their identities.

I like the different characters in a WWII fiction piece. I never thought about AA GI's in the war.
