Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed the epistolary format of the The Reckoning and learning more about Lina’s life pre and post WWII. It read like a nonfiction memoir instead of a work of historical fiction. Lina was born to parents who lived through and fought in WWI and while her parents hoped there wouldn’t be another Great War. Sadly, Lina and her beau Robert would live through WWII which would set off a chain of events that would change Lina’s life forever.

Who is the Diana that Lina is writing to and what is her reasoning?

I do wish there had been some more plot during her time in Paris, Asia, and Kenya. Although by the end of the book I understood why there wasn’t much plot.
