By Elizabeth Berg
Rated: ★★★
A Rita Hayworth look-alike and her sister keep the home fires burning for young men going off to fight WWII in Berg's nostalgic tale of wartime romance and family sacrifice.
This was an OK book but not one I would particularly recommend. I liked the detail about the era because it was my childhood so it was a nostalgic read for me. However, I did not think the relationships were particularly realistic. I think that Berg prides herself on being an edgy author and I think that she has tried a little too hard with this novel and sacraficed some realism in the process. I thought the ending was from way out in left field somewhere.
