I loved this book too, especially how it takes a light-hearted approach to writing about WWII but doesn't sugar-coat the terrible things that happened. And I loved the epistolary format. Made me wish letter-writing was still in vogue.

I hope it's okay that I linked to your review on the Book Reviews: WWII page on War Through the Generations.

Sandy - Yes! I wanted to "crawl into the story and live there" too!

Serena - It's a new form for me, but now I can't wait to explore another.

Stacy - Don't feel bad. I often feel like the last blogger to read a book.

Stephanie - So many of these characters are unforgettable!

Nicole - You definitely should give it a try. The characters are just so wonderfully rich and believable.

Jenners - I can't believe I forgot yours! Don't worry, I'll put myself on a five minute time out right after posting this. :)

Somehow I missed out on reading this one when it made the rounds. There was just something about it that didn't make me want to runout and pick it up. But I think you may have just changed my mind and I love that you mentioned the there is a positive portrayal of gay characters in the novel. I love that!

This sounds really good, though I can see that the epistolary format could take some getting used to. Juliet sounds like a memorable character.

It's sitting right here on my shelf, waiting to be read. By the time I get to it I may be the last blogger to read it!

I reviewed this last year and loved it. I thought it was fantastic, but I agree it can be tough to get into if you haven't read novels in letters before.

I loved this on audiobook. I wanted to crawl into the story and live there. On audio, each character was narrated by a different person, which worked well. It did take me about the first disc to get into the swing of the story, but once I did it was very smooth. When I finished I felt flushed and in love. One of the top reads for me last year!
