If you enjoy historical fiction with an excellent main character, this book is absolutely not to be missed.
I loved the historical fiction aspects of this novel, I loved the character of Ellie. She is resourceful and smart, plucky and very determined. She's a dutiful wife but also clear on the fact that she needs to do more than take care of her home and her husband. Her courage in going to America by herself is inspiring and the fact that she assimilated so well and so quickly is pretty amazing. I loved reading this story about her and from her perspective. She was truly the perfect heroine of this novel and I honestly loved everything about her.
