I have avoided reading post 9/11 novels because it still seems too soon for me to read fictional accounts of the tragedy. But, this one sounds really good. I love it when authors take something on a large scale like this and tell about the way it has affected the people at home, especially women. Thanks for the review. I'm going to check this one out.
ReplyDeleteThese are exceptionally strong women, Lisa...and their story is more uplifting than it is sad for that reason. Gilchrist is just excellent.
