Helpful Score: 1
This is one of my all-time favorite novels. Ms. Piercy is a talented writer and in this she brings the WW II era alive. I admit that the beginning can be a bit confusing as she is introducing so many characters, but if the reader stays with it, you will be awarded with a spell-binding novel. There are hundreds of fictional books on battles and the men who fought them, but this will give the reader not only another perspective of the American Home Front, but of the Resistance in France and how it connects with people in the U.S. In addition, there is a woman who becomes a Women's Air Force Pilot, aka WASP, and a Merchant Mariner on a Liberty Ship (too often ignored in most accounts). All in all, a gripping novel.
