Wonderful book, a time capsule of America from the 1940's -60's. Story is told through the eyes of three women whose husbands serve in WWII. So many things unspoken, the emotional after affects of war, women seen only in connection to their husbands and the racial divide. The realization why a black woman, who a white woman thought was a friend would command her not to give her teen son a ride in her car. The women in this story are so real and the issues addressed are very true to the time periods.
