This evening was one of those evenings that did not go as planned in a very good way.
I picked up our Save-the-Dates from Costco and got to talk to my brother, Jim (eek sorry my phone stinks and cut us off).
When I got home I got a text from Charlotte about a Skype date. I jumped on the opportunity to spend some quality time with my BFF.
And now Mary’s mommy is here! So needless to say y’all get a book review tonight. But not just any book review, one for the MUST read category.
Lately, I have been putting holds on Jenna’s recommended books at my library. The title of her post about this book is “A Consuming Read”, and that it is. I loved this book.
The story follows a woman on Guernsey Island during World War II. Her family decides to stay during the German occupation. With her husband at war, she raises her daughters, cares for her mother-in-law and falls in love with a German soldier next door.
I have to agree with Jenna that this book is fantastic for a work commute or a vacation. It is mostly upbeat, but includes a few tense moments as any novel about war would. I was hooked all the way to the last sentence of the epilogue. Yes, even the last sentence of this book is fantastic! (No peeking).
