27. As The Night Ends

By Audrey Howard
Rated ★★★½

Driven by her idealism and courage, Alex Goodwin will make any sacrifice to win votes for women. Her despairing family, unable to rescue her from yet antoher dangerous prison sentance is overjoyed when Patrick O'Leary comes into her life. A hard-working oung surgeon, Patrick is a idealistic as Alex and loves her with all his heart.

Then they are separated, first by a quarrel, then by the terrible war which engulfs their world, and finally after a miraculous reunion, then again by another tragedy.

This book was the last in a trilogy and I thought it was the best of the three. But still it had problems for me. It went about one and maybe two tragedies to far. It started slipping into melodrama towards the end. Howard could could have used a better editor.
