If so I have it on my TBR pile but I am fully expecting it to be a love story so I shouldn't be disappointed!Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-36419273282756860562012-07-25T16:38:27.866+01:002012-07-25T16:38:27.866+01:00I think I liked your review better than the sound ...I think I liked your review better than the sound of the book! ;-) You know...I got stuck with a Lisa See book.

I found The House at Tyneford to be somewhat similar. The entire war and its impact was completely downplayed when faced with the love story. Disappointing. It's a bummer considering you found that the author had so much to work with!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.com
