This is not, as the title might make you believe, a book about underwear. Instead, it is a story of life in the midwest in the 1910s, of love, of loss, of war. It explores women, their freedoms and lack thereof. The characters are well drawn, the story line is interesting, but the ending is rather sudden -- I would have preferred to see some of the story lines have a more detailed finish. Aside from that, recommended for fans of historical fiction.
