Again, I pick another book to read about WWII or did the book pick me? That is the question!!
This is the second book that I have read by Camille Di Maio. She has written four books, so far (I hope!). As usual, when a find a new author, I have totally read the books out of the order that she has written them. This is a stand-alone novel so it doesn't matter at all, but I do enjoy a trilogy or a series!!
This is told from the viewpoint of Julianne and her life in pre-WWII Liverpool. The descriptions and detail the author includes made it come alive for me. It sounded like a dream life for Julianne and her family, but there are twists. Her family, friendships, war, and love all get in the way of her "perfect" life.
It is hard for me to believe that this was Camille's debut novel as it was so well-done! The storyline was very good, the setting was fascinating as I knew little about pre-WWII Liverpool, the characters were flawed and beautiful, and the writing was just so beautiful.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Definite RECOMMEND!!
Happy reading,
Dorothea 💜
