Wonderful WWII era historical novel!
As I read Love Comes Home I kept thinking that it reminded me of a book I had read sometime before. It took me awhile but I finally figured it out. It reminded me much of Little Women. It has a similar feel to it, with 4 very different sisters, loving parents, the trials of growing up, and the domestic incidences of life. One of the facets that really jumped out at me is how life never seems to go quite as planned. Each sister, Kate, Evie (Evangeline), Tori (Victoria), and Lorena, thought they had things figured out. Kate's husband will come home, they'll buy a place of their own and start a family right away. Evie's husband will come home, he'll start preaching again in a nice church, and she can decorate her home in color-coded perfection, no kids needed. Tori thought her husband would be coming home but he died, she never planned on being a 19-year-old widow and single mother, she also has no intention on ever falling in love again. Life is going quite well for Lorena, she is singing in churches around the county and going to radio auditions, and then the nagging empty spot left behind by her birth family's abandonment catches up and she decides to try and find them. Each of them has to learn to handle the changes wrought by 4 years of war, not only in the men in their lives, but also in themselves.
This is a book about growing up, about forgiveness, about love, about letting go, and about faith. Life isn't always easy so every moment of peace and joy that God sends is appreciated even more.
Ann H. Gabhart has a delightfully old fashioned way of telling a story, evoking the style of the day. I have read several of her books and always jump at the chance to read a new one. Just as I knew I would, I enjoyed every page of Love Comes Home. It was nostalgic trip back to a simpler time that is actually much like our own, with similar tragedies and triumphs.
If you are an Ann Gabhart fan or love WWII era stories than Love Comes Home is just the book for you. Read it and I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
(I received a copy of this book from RevellReads in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.)
