I had such a roller coaster of feelings toward the FMC Reading this. Charlotte was insufferable at the beginning of this book. But as all good authors can do, the author gave the character amazing character growth. By the end of the novel, I was pleased with the woman she had become.
If you find historical novels with developing female characters interesting you’ll love this book.

I received a copy of this digital ARC from net galley and storm books in exchange for my honest opinon.

This story was kind of like Cinderella. Except there were twists you don't see coming. I read it in two evenings. Loved it!

A beautiful depiction of women's various roles in the First World War. Charlotte developed from a snooty little Madame into a caring and thoughtful young lady. The Cadwalader connection was a loose end which wasn't, in my opinion, tied up. Nonetheless a stunning work, bringing to light many aspects of the First World War which everyone should no about.

A deceased father...missing love...pregnant stepmother. The main character in this story has her hands full. She rises to the occasion. From page one, I was enthralled...wondering what would happen next and how the story would end. This would make an intriguing movie. I look forward to more books by this talented author.
