When the war comes, Stanley does his duty and enlists while Jonah spends his time trying to stay out of the war. The story does an excellent job of showing the impact that the war had on this small community. With these four young people, the author is able to show how the war brought so much change to people’s daily lives. While gentle Maude patiently waits for her fiance’s return, Belinda is being wooed by Jonah who thinks being married will keep him safe.
I was expecting this story to be sweet and simple, but I was pleased that the author was able to place her characters in fairly realistic predicaments which gave the book an authentic feel and kept my interest. While neither girl gets a picture perfect ending, the story does shows how opportunity and a future path can arise from sorrow and disillusionment. ( )
