Another great book

I consumed this book as fast as I did the first one. I loved it.

A compelling novel

Since You Went Away by Dean Hughes is an amazing story that observes the outlook of many different people all striving to survive World War Two. Never once was I bored while reading this book, however due to the many story lines at times it was sometimes hard to keep up. But in the end all characters had a gripping story to tell- well worth the time!

He draws us on . . .

Hughes is brilliant at drawing the reader into the lives, loves and dangers the Thomas family faces as each of the children go off to war. Alex, in the European theater, facing those he taught and loved on his mission as the enemy. Wally, serving in the South Pacific, is gathered up in the fateful surrender of American soldiers and forced to endure the infamous Bataan March. Bobbi struggles with her own challenges in Hawaii. As each page turns and the tension builds, I can scarcely wait for the next. This is a must buy and a valuable edition to your home library.
