When We Had Wings

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am always amazed how multiple authors can write a book together and these three did such a fabulous job.

This novel is about the friendship of three women during war.

August 1941- U.S Navy nurse Eleanor Lindstrom goes to the Philippines. She meets two other women who strike up a friendship when they meet at the Army Navy Club.

They bond and each have had a difficult past. Eleanor meets Penny and Lila. Bonding over the loss of a husband, lost love and promises, yet their future remains unclear.

At first the are enjoying life in the South Pacific and dealing with light nursing duties, but then Pearl Harbor is bombed. Next the Philippines is attacked and the three are sent to different internment camps.

This novel tackles so many topics and things that happened during that time in history. I enjoyed that the novel follows up with the ladies after the war.
