A beautifully written novel about love, sacrifice, and 5 people tied together by the events of the first world war.
A bit slower of a book to get into as we are introduced to all of the characters and their origins. The story is told from 5 viewpoints throughout the story, and by the end it was hard to pick a favorite as the author did such a good job of bringing them to life in all their humanity and courage.
An intricately woven story that leans more character driven than plot driven, with a powerful message of hope, love, sacrifice, and God's hand in our lives.
Overall, a compelling novel with a powerful story told through various viewpoints, each with their own distinct voice and journey. A memorable read that does a great job through prose of telling a story in a touching and almost melodic way. Highly recommend, especially for for fans of more literary fiction.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
