I truly enjoyed this book. It was so interesting to learn about conditions in England during the War. Even though much of the book focuses on the romantic aspects of the four ladies featured, their relationships with their own families, parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, neighbours and co-workers are also touched upon.
I have spent the last year reading mostly books surrounding WWII, during and post, I had not considered the GI brides, how many there were and how many moved to the USA after the war..
I definitely recommend this book to history buffs. It reads like a novel, but the stories are about real people.
