Format:Paperback
This is a brilliant saga about WW2 from a female perspective. There are countless books about men at war. This deals with the women. Those who suddenly found a place in the working market, those who were trusted to fly the planes only men flew before the war (and after). The women at the front and back home. In the USA, the UK and France. A true masterpiece. Read it!

This book is an engrossing look at WWII through the lives of seven main characters and is both moving and uplifting. As you would expect from Marge Piercy the women are especially strong and form the focus of the book. I'm not always thrilled with Marge Piercy's work but this book is one of my all time favorites. Valerie Milners All Good Women covers a similar period and complements this book very well.

I was very glad to find the book as it is not available anywhere else. A beautifully written story, borrowed it from a friend to read & decided it's a book to keep & wanted my own copy. The lives of several jewish families during wartime are cleverly weaved in this gripping story. Thanks Awesome books.
