Brilliant historical fiction, the library does have her diary and I wanted to read it but very difficult and gave up. This is one of the best historical fiction I have ever read. Making it into a movie is great idea

Stories of 3 women and how WW2 affected them and how they affected the war. I read each woman’s story separately starting with Berlin, then Paris, then NYC which I think made it more cohesive. Different views and different perspectives, very, very good.

Interesting historical fiction set during WW1 in England. Some very interesting side plots. Some repetition in the romance department that was a little annoying or I would have rated it 5.

I thought this would be full of adventure but she was a hardworking woman in a brutal culture and had to fight so hard to try to survive I was so discouraged for her. Many Icelandic names populate the book and I ended up skimming a lot.

Autobiography of an amazing woman, reading it gave me ideas how to deal with my challenges. Also, anyone who doesn’t want vaccinations should read this and see if they want to get polio and develop natural immunity.

Excellent story of pioneers on their journey to Oregon. It describes the usual obstacles and difficulties but also the thoughts of various participants from the women who did not want to go in the first place, young adults in growing into adulthood, and the leaders who are growing into leadership.

I have found that this author really draws me in to her historical romances. I am usually much more into hardcore history but she has a knack of involving the reader in the lives of her characters.
