Alva, a strong willed and clever woman in the 19th century, who came out from the ashes like a Phoenix as her family lost their titles and she had very little opportunity to marry a good candidate that would rescue her from her very poor family situation. She was able to accomplish this and get married to a W.K. Vanderbilt and made the best out of this situation, growing into a very admired woman in the 1800's U.S' society.

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was such a great historical fiction novel! I enjoyed the history narrative mixed with the medical cases seen during war, and also I enjoyed the fact that you could not predict what would happen next in the love story. I highly recommend this one!

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I loved this book!! Great review 4y
mvegabec @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled thanks Ericka! It is definitely a jewel😃👌 4y

Solid 4.5⭐ for this beautiful story of true friendship, an uplifting and very realistic story of the post war years with an exquisite writing style and great research done. I love this story and I really recommend it, add it to your TBR!

tracey38 The card is amazing 5y
mvegabec I know right!, that's why I did a close up shoot because photos don't make justice on the beautiful details, I loved it too!💗 5y
LaraReads I had lots of fun picking out books for you too! Two of which I had read & loved! Glad you love the card 😍 and hope you like the postcards inside too! You don‘t have to send them back, I just thought it was a cute idea and could be used as bookmarks. I had fun trying to (sorta) match them to the books. This was really a fun thing to do & I‘m so grateful to @BookishMarginalia for organizing! (edited) 5y
mvegabec Hi Lara!! @LaraReads you really did a superb job with the books, they are all the books I have on my TBR and besides historical fiction I like novels that show you something about different cultures and you included a couple of them too! I am super excited really, I wish I could give a hug I am super thankful for everything you did. I really like the cards inside the books! 💗😘 5y

Definately a TBR, my second favorite of the year. I totally give this story a 5⭐. Inspiring and upbeat story of a family during WWII. This should be a motion picture story, I hope to see it on screens one day!

Question... anyone has read the other 2 books of this series? Any thoughts? I am really enjoying this book and I'd like to know which of the 3 is the best😁📚

Crazeedi I Read the first 2, I enjoyed the first one the most, second one was Okay. Didnt read third. It's been a couple years. I have on my shelf, have you read? Ican send to you! 5y
mvegabec Hi Diane!! Sure, I am Open to any swaps! I hope you are enjoying the weekend!😁🤗💗 5y
arattyreads I read the first one and liked it a lot better, it was all about the births and went into more detail about what she would do when problems would come up during labor/ birth... with a little bit of her personal life on the side but I really liked the birth aspect of it and there wasn‘t so much of that in “once a midwife” 4y
mvegabec Oh wow @arattyreads I have to read it now!!! IT sounds very interesting!!😉👌👌👌 thanks for the info. 4y

5 ⭐ to this great book..
Explains all the elements on earth and space and also talks about being kind to each other and respect differences among people. This is one of my son's favorite books now

review

I give it a 5⭐ to this one! I bought for my 4 year old to be read before bedtime and both of us absolutely loved it. It talks about dreams and pursuing anything you want to be in life but also talks about universal values like respect and tolerance, and the most important aspect is that they learn all this thru a kind of conversational story between mom and son... I highly recommend it for toddlers!
