Eye of the storm follows a group of characters from both sides of the War through the tumultuous ending of WW II. I listened to the unabridged audio edition, and found parts of it entertaining, other parts a bit stilted and slow. The first hour, I found was pretty dull. There were also a few too many characters, some of which weren't all that interesting. In the audio edition, the transitions between various characters were particularly awkward. One minute you are on a ship... The next minute in France. Since the transitions occurred mid chapter I found this frustrating, especially when some of the characters such as the German Officer were not that exciting.
My favorite bits were the parts between the German soldier deserter and his romance with the French farm girl. I also found the adulterous woman in England grew on me. The author was masterful at portraying the attitude of the times... I just wished she'd ditched a few of the less interesting characters and focused on the two female leads and their beaus.
