Perhaps I should preface this by saying that I am out in the country writing this, in a vacation state of mind. As a fan of historical fiction, I particularly love to read novels that take place in wartime, and this novel has all of that — told in parts by two women narrators, during the first and s...
This book took me a little while to read, though not through any fault of its own. I've been in a not-reading place for the last several weeks, and I haven't read much of anything at all. This book is actually a very quick read (when I don't find myself distracted by other things), especially consid...

A poet living on the British Isle of Skye receives a fan letter from an American student and the two strike up a correspondence and deep friendship. Twenty years later, Elspeth's daughter Margaret is determined to go against her mother's wishes and pursue a wartime romance with an RAF pilot. Then El...
