Helpful Score: 1

After reading other reviews, I am not sure why I loved this book. It was sometimes disjointed, but I felt the difference between the hardships of Europe and the ambivalence of the U.S. right before the war was realistic. I thought the author could have done a better job with how Emma found out her husband was dead. The whole premise of the start of the book was that the Postmaster had not done her job by keeping a letter secret. The last chapter was a little off, like the author had written it first as a goal to achieve. Despite this, I found the book gripping and I read it in a couple of days.
