I Loved This Book

I am so hooked on this ongoing literary soap opera. In this book, #30 in the Morland Dynasty series, The Measure of Days paints a portrait of a family, and a nation, at war during 1916. A time when it is starting to be obvious that this is going to be a very long and grim war. I found this to be a very moving book and one that accurately portrays how every family is effected. I am very pleased that the author took the time to give such an engrossing look at this important period in history.
