Book Description

26 Feb 2002
In her stunning hardcover debut, "New York Times bestselling author Jill Barnett creates a powerful novel of love, honor, and courage, set against the epic panorama of World War II.

Kitty Kincaid grew up in the shadow of her father, a famous research scientist. But when she is captured by the Nazis in French Morocco, she must rely on her own wits to survive.

J.R. Cassidy is a U.S. Army of?cer, an expert who specializes in impossible missions where rules don't matter...only winning does. But when he in?ltrates a mountain stronghold to get Kitty out, they are trapped, with only one route of escape -- through the burning Sahara Desert.

Charlotte Morrison is a barnstormer's daughter who courageously ferries planes to Britain's Royal Air Force. But soon she is torn between two men: an idealistic younger man who will follow her into the jaws of the enemy and an intense stranger who cannot let go of the past.

Red Walker has spent his whole life in a small Texas town -- until the day someone special gives him the courage to walk away.

George "Skip" Inskip is a renowned ?ying ace in the British Royal Air Force, a man whose actions aren't driven by patriotism, but by a powerful need for vengeance.

In a love story spanning three continents and an in?nite range of human emotions, these spirited men and women live hard, love hard, and ?ght hard. On burning sands, in blue skies, and under screaming Nazi bombs, they all make their own personal journeys. But when fate brings them together in a place where duty comes before love, they can no longer live only for today -- not if they ever want to see tomorrow.

Passionate, poignant, and masterfully told, "SentimentalJourney is a triumphant adventure of the choices made for love and country at a time when ordinary, everyday people became heroes.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OF THE BEST --- AN INCREDIBLE STORY!!!! 26 Jun 2001
By Maudeen Wachsmith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Once in a very great while there comes along a book so magnificent every word of praise seems trite - no word can give it justice. SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY is one such book. Jill Barnett, well known for her humorous, yet poignant, historical romances, completely redefines herself in this spectacular story of love and loss set during the early days of World War II.

Opening with an action scene, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY is reminiscent of Robert Ludlum, one of fiction's all-time masters. It also brings to mind such classic books as BATTLE CRY by Leon Uris and even FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS by Hemingway. After the opening scene, Barnett takes readers back in time introducing of the main characters including:

Kitty Kincaid as she tries to outrun the Gestapo; JR Cassidy the gutsy young American Army Captain sent on an unusual mission; Charlotte (Charley) Morrison, daughter of a barnstormer and famous aircraft designer whose flying prowess eventually enables her to join an elite group of women; William "Red" Morrison, the young Texan who always wanted more adventure than he'd find running a gas station in west Texas; and George "Skip" Inskip, the RAF flying ace whose becomes a reluctant national hero following a personal tragedy.

In chapters following, readers get a glimpse of the lives of these brave young men and women until their stories eventually intertwine and fate brings them together.

Barnett has chosen to tell her story in short chapters, each of which bear the title of a popular song from the era - a very effective method which not only describes what is happening in that particular chapter but will have the reader humming many of the old standards.

This is an emotional story skillfully told and is sure to make Barnett into a major star in the world of fiction. Her three-dimensional characters and exciting action place the reader firmly in the scenes. This is a story which will be enjoyed equally by men and women as evidenced in this reviewer's own household.

Barnett has done what would seem impossible - effectively melding the best of women's fiction and men's action adventure together. This book was at once nearly impossible to put down and one this reviewer wanted to savor forever.

And even though words to describe this may be difficult - I'll try a few: Magnificent! Outstanding! This is a wonderful reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Man's (retired military) Opinion 14 Aug 2001
By queeners - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Being a diehard Jill Barnett fan, it was only natural that my wife would come home with Ms Barnett's latest book, Sentimental Journey. After taking a look inside the "jacket", I found my interest peaked.

Having spent my life on or around the sea in both the military and civilian environments, reading was always my solace, my escape. It was synonymous with my travelling. I, particularly, enjoyed authors such as Louis L'Amour, Wilbur Smith, Dale brown, Tom Clancy, John Grisham, Jack Higgins, Alistair MacLean, C.S. Forrester, Monsarrat, etc..

One of my most important criteria for an author is that they "hook me" at the beginning of their book. All of the above were able to do that.

Once I opened and started reading Sentimental Journey, I was "hooked" by Jill Barnett. I could not put her book down. Her manner of presenting this story would not let me. She intigued me with each new chapter. I found her book believable, captivating, demanding (because I had a hard time putting it down), and, most of all, downright enjoyable.

I strongly recommend that you men out there who like an excellent adventure with a little romance PICK THIS BOOK UP AND GIVE IT A GO.

Ms Barnett has written a winner!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a Happy Ending 29 Nov 2005
By Jennifer L. Porterfield - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Just a warning for those of you thinking about reading this book: if you want a perfect happy ending (or even a mildly happy one) DO NOT read this book. If you don't like love triangles, especially ones that don't work out at all, DO NOT read this book. I have read every single one of Jill Barnett's books and short stories, and this is the only one I did not like. It's an excellent STORY. The J.R. and Kitty romance was good. The rest was just depressing. I really wish someone had warned me before I picked up this book, too, because I spent about 98% of the book loving it, and it only took that last 2% to ruin the whole thing for me.
