This is a very good book. It is short but well written and naturally comes to a conclusion that is as it should be. Will be recommending this book to everyone I know.

Life is not always what we expect, and so this is for Lizzie during the first World War. This was a good clean reading novel.

Beautiful love story after WW1. Getting a view from the soldier on the front lines and a young woman on the home front.

An easy read from this debut author!

While I generally enjoyed the novel and would read another book by Beverley J. Tucker, I thought that the story needed more character development and better description.

I was happy to learn that there will be a sequel to this novel!

Thank you to NetGalley and Troubadour Publishing Ltd for this ARC!

This book didn't do much for me, The cover is gorgeous. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge history buff. I appreciate the fact she brought in researched pieces and the poppies and etc. The story was too general. I didn't connect with any of the charcters. I'd give it low 3 stars.

Lizzie's Dream by Beverley J Tucker is a historical romance set during World War I. It is a work of fiction but has facts woven through out. The horrors of that war can never truly be known by us. We owe so many, so much. It is a debt we cannot repay.
Set from 1915 to 1921 the novel is written from two points of view - the soldier at the Front and a young lady on the home front. Both parties suffer - one from unbelievable horrors, the other from the stress of not knowing how loved ones are plus the ordinary everyday worries of life.
A bygone era comes to life under the masterful pen of Beverley Tucker. The reader gets a taste of both a close knit community and family.
I really enjoyed Lizzie's Dream and am looking forward to the follow up, William's War.
One thing I noticed as a historian... the facts surrounding Christmas 1915 were actually from Christmas 1914 but this did not in any way detract from my enjoyment of the story.
I received this book for free from Net Galley. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

Beautiful love story between Lizzie & Harry & especially so with the trials & tribulations of WW1 hanging over everyone 's life.
I especially enjoy this period in History & want to thank Netgalley, author & publisher for offering this little gem & allowing me to read it for free.
Would & will recommend this to anyone interested in this time in History.

I liked this book a lot and yes I would recommend others read it as well. I was able to read it in 1/2 a day. Very short read but good read and kept my attention .. 5 star read...I have tried 3 times to give a review and message says goodreads has not got this book listed, nor does any the other sites . My review is rejected. WHY?
