A terrific novel in numerous ways: she absolutely “ catches” the enormity and conundrum of war in the person as well as in the political arena; the complexity of relationships are authentically portrayed related to such situations where one is stripped, exposed and opened simultaneously on fertile ground for unique camaraderie and love. Her vividness of descriptions jumped from the pages igniting the smells, tastes, sounds and sweat. Having had a similar opportunity, reading this book was like “yes! “yes! “yes!

An interesting story that is written with plenty of wit and humor. I learned about the WASP\\\'s and their role in WWII and can appreciate their contributions. The characters were likable and believable and it was fun to learn about their life\\\'s transitions. A very enjoyable read!
