Search - Dream When You're Feeling Blue

This was a great tale set in the 1940's during WWII when men were off fighting while the women stayed on the homefront and kept the country going. I love this era, so i thouroghly enjoyed this story. It involves 3 sisters who write to various men off at war. The story is heartwarming and bittersweet. Just some advice, DONT FLIP TO THE BACK OF THE BOOK and read the interview with the authour...as it basically will give away the ending. I did this by mistake, and was very discouraged as i read that i would know how it ended!

I LOVED this book. Elizabeth Berg made you feel like you were sitting at the supper table with these girls. I became interested in their "lives" and had a hard time putting the book down. The ending was exciting and completely unexpected. This is well written and thought provoking.

I loved this book. It depicted the era of world war 11.The women were real and I could relate to them even though it was a different time.

I really loved this story and by half way through the book I was completely invested in the characters. Historical fiction stories like this that put you smack dab in the middle of a person's life are so emotional and immersive becuase you know that they are at least semi-realistic, it makes the story seem deeper and closer to home. I wasn't happy with the last few chapters, It was an odd mixture of predictability/twist/"realism" but then I suppose that's becuase she didn't sugar coat it. So even though I was disappointed for the characters, I felt satisfied with the outcome after it had time to sink in.

starts in the 1940's during WWII, so much atmosphere, such great details of everyday life, food, fashions, how mores were changing, this is Elizabeth Berg at her best, characters who feel and like, dilemmas that everyone has lived. Found the conclusion rather abrupt though, it's as if she lost her flow. But all in all, I so enjoyed this book about sisters and family and being young and vital, and then not do
