I bought this book for a long journey and it kept me entertained for many hours. The characters are lovable from the start and the plot is woven with moving episodes both happy and sad to keep your interest. I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to any readers who like romance set in the second world war. There are nice descriptions of Coverack and some fast paced chilling events abroad in France. Money well spent in my opinion. Enjoy!!
