Despite not being alive during the war, this felt so realistic and authentic of war times. Incredibly interesting characters, relatable and real. Great storylines and enjoyable overall. Highly recommend to those who enjoy this genre!
I really enjoyed this story. It’s an easy read with a good plot centred around interesting characters and World War 2 hardships. I followed Flora’s life and relationships with interest and sympathy, and the other characters evoked opinions from me too. I would recommend it. With thanks to Netgalley and publisher for the opportunity to provide an honest review.
A great read.
With believable characters and storyline this book was captivating from the first chapter.
War Widow the name of this book is exactly what our main character Flora becomes when her Husband away fighting in the second World War is reported missing assumed dead.
Struggling to come to terms with it all she battles on trying to raise their family alone and takes on the responsibility of her Niece. Pretty Flora attracts attention from an American Soldier but her life is in such turmoil she's confused if she should follow her head or heart.
A real rollercoaster of a story especially when some shocking home truths are exposed which left me gripped as the pace of the story quickened. A book I enjoyed from beginning to end.
My thanks go to the author, publisher and Netgalley in providing this arc for a honest review.
Another book I loved reading. Very good. The characters are interesting and the writing is great. Will probably read it again at some point.
Review: This book is perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin. A very good historical read. It is set during and after WW2 and follows a mothers struggles while bringing up her family during this time. Passion flows through the words June has written and you feel deeply for Flora. This book has some really good twists and is a real page turner. If you love a good historical novel then this is defiantly one to read.
An interesting book with likeable characters and a storyline that was easy to follow. I enjoyed reading this and would highly recommend.
I loved this book. The way the author wrote it drew me in and I was sad it came to the end. There were so many twists and turns in it you were never sure what would happen next. A fab read that I will be recommending to my book loving friends.
This book focuses on Flora a young woman in Liverpool during the Second World War and its immediate aftermath. She is widowed and has to deal with the hardships of bringing up her young family and her sister's daughter too. Along the way she learns the truth about her husband and has several romances.
Overall I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to fans of Lesley Pearce and Rosie Goodwin.
