Distinctions
In October 1935, Edward Jamieson's memories of war and a passionate love affair resurface when an invitation to a World War I memorial ceremony arrives. Though reluctant to visit the scenes of horror, he has spent years trying to forget, Edward succumbs to the unlikely possibility of discovering what happened to Helene Noisette, the woman he once pledged to marry. Traveling through the French countryside with his wife, Ann, Edward sees nothing but reminders of war. After a chance encounter with Helene at the dedication ceremony, Edward's past puts his present life in jeopardy. When World War II erupts a few years later, Edward is quickly caught up in the world of training espionage agents, while Ann counsels grieving women and copes with the daily threats facing those she loves. And once again, secrets and war threaten the bonds of marriage. With events unfolding in France, England, and Canada, Unravelled is a compelling novel of love, duty, and sacrifice set amongst the turmoil of two world wars.

UNRAVELLED goes back and forth from past to present revealing feelings, desires, and regrets. The characters are likable but not lovable. Edward does the unthinkable when he is in France and ruins his life as well as his wife's life.
UNRAVELLED is the perfect title for this book because of the war and the personal situations that cause people to become undone. You will share the pain of losing a family member or a friend to war or to infidelity and coping with the loss along with the characters.
The author did a marvelous job researching both WWI and WWII and brought the characters' feelings in all situations masterfully to the surface. The war information dragged on a bit despite the themes of marriage and infidelity even though the wars and what they do to the survivors, the wounded, and families left with or without their loved ones was the main emphasis.
If you enjoy love and war which actually can't be separated, you will enjoy UNRAVELLED. I honestly have to say it was good, but it also lacked some pizzazz - it seemed to run on an even keel without too much suspense. I skimmed through some sections.
UNRAVELLED was good, but needed to be a bit shorter and not as detailed with the war information. If you enjoy detailed war strategies, though, you will definitely enjoy UNRAVELLED. 3.5/5
This book was given to me free of charge by the author and without compensation by the author in return for an honest review. (
