This story is more cornier than it's title. One thing I realised about Margaret Graham is, regardless what her characters go through in their lives they always end up doing so well. So basically, you can just read the first page and the last page of her books and save the time and energy you would be wasting on nearly 400 pages otherwise. How this book became a bestseller is beyond me.

Hmmm, how to explain this book? A lecture in history? A family saga? A love story? It would appear that these are all the ingredients to make a best seller. For my thinking, it was tedious at times, yet very raw in the telling. I must admit I did keep turning the pages!
The one thing which bothered me - how did Jack know where to find Rosie?
I won't share more than that in the storyline, however, I wanted so much for the great long descriptions of the era, the places to just stop! It became boring to go through so many details.
If one can ignore the tedium of the history lesson, the story is not so bad after all. Very real family relationships, and very intense emotions, so all in all, a nice read.

A beautifully written story of post WW2 Britain, the effects of being an evacuee and returning home to a somewhat unwelcoming country having spent 6 years in America. A powerful love story involving more fighting in the Korean War and how this was very much a forgotten war despite the many British and American casualties during the McCarthy era and fear of communism. I thoroughly enjoyed it and cried on reading the last sentence.
