If you are looking for a story about sisters who truly love each other no matter what this is the story for you. I found this story so engaging and was surprised at the things that I learned because I am not very well versed in WWI history. 

My least favorite part of this book was probably the pacing just because we went from watching these characters day to day life and then months and almost a year jumped. I do understand the need to jump time the way the book did I just wish we could have seen a little more of our characters during those time jumps. 

My dislike aside I thought that the story of this book was fantastic and enjoyed the conversations that this book brings up. I thought that both of the sisters felt fleshed out and stood on their own. I do think I preferred Phoebe's point of view the most but Celia's point of view was definitely not bad. I also loved both of the male love interest. 

I think that this book does a great job of giving those of us who love the War type stories a new and interesting time period to explore and I will be picking up more of this authors work.
