The pace of the story is slow at the beginning, but it builds up to the point that the reader is unable to put the book down. I really enjoyed reading Ruby and Jimmy's love story and hoped throughout that the strength of their love would keep them together despite the difficulties they faced. It seems particularly poignant to be reading the book in November, when we traditionally take time to reflect on the hardships that these soldiers faced. Many thanks to the publishers for my review copy.
