Epic in scope, Marge Piercy's sweeping novel encompasses the wide range of people and places marked by the Second World War. Each of her ten narrators has a unique and compelling story that powerfully depicts his or her personality, desires, and fears. Special attention is given to the women of the war effort, like Bernice, who rebels against her domineering father to become a fighter pilot, and Naomi, a Parisian Jew sent to live with relatives in Detroit, whose twin sister, Jacqueline-still in France-joins the resistance against Nazi rule. The horrors of the concentration camps; the heroism of soldiers on the beaches of Okinawa, the skies above London, and the seas of the Mediterranean; the brilliance of code breakers; and the resilience of families waiting for the return of sons, brothers, and fathers are all conveyed through powerful, poignant prose that resonates beyond the page. Gone to Soldiers is a testament to the ordinary people, with their flaws and inner strife, who rose to defend liberty during the most extraordinary times.… (mais)

A superb summer saga with a surprise ending ala Billy Tipton.

I enjoyed this book. The author did a wonderful job of developing diverse characters who were experiencing the war from all sides - U.S, France, London and even in the South Pacific. Following along with 10 different characters who were intertwined made the story very interesting. IT was fascinating to read of their intense struggles to survive in each of their own situations.

I loved this book! The characters were great and it was easy to get lost in their lives. The only thing that I had a little bit of a hard time with was placing which character this chapter was about. But, luckily, each chapter also clearly had a heading that this was about Daniel, for instance. I would think for a split second and come up with, "Okay, Daniel. He's the code guy." But it was a great big novel that made me think about these men and women of the "greatest generation" and how they really deserve that title. ( )

Piercy wrote that nothing happened in this novel that did not happen to someone, somewhere in real life. That is a level of research--impeccable!--that all writers of historical novels should aspire to. ( )
