Wait for Me by Caroline Leech
4.5

Review: “Wait for Me” was the first book I read by Caroline Leech and it is one of my favorite historical romances to this day! 

“Wait for Me” tells the story of Lorna Anderson, a young Scottish girl who works on her family’s farm during World War II. Paul, a German Prisoner of War, is sent to work on the Anderson farm. Lorna is initially disgusted at the prospect of working with the very enemy her brothers have been enlisted to fight. Slowly, but surely, Lorna begins to view Paul in a different light. 

I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful book. It captures war time perfectly. Leech’s imagery and characterization are what make this book so gripping. this novel is truly underrated! I recommend it to those who want to explore the historical fiction genre and fans of the forbidden love trope!
