This is quite an interesting storyline -the ripple effects of war. I wonder why a man would keep his mother a secret. I'll be checking this book out.
Thank you for this interesting review.

Wars are expensive, both literally and figuratively. This book sounds like a compelling historical fiction from someone with firsthand experience about the lasting devastating impact of wars. Thanks for sharing.

It’s always interesting to see a single element—like war—work its way down a family tree and how it affects the family’s members along the way. I do have to wonder why Treat’s mother was catatonic and why he kept her a secret from his wife. I’m not too thrilled about World War I & II books lately, but I am more interested in the Spanish Influenza, so I’ll have to take other parts of the first half of the 1900s along with it. Thank you for the helpful review.

Stories about war tend to be a bit too much for me, both in length and subject matter. This book appears to be an engaging read that fans of the genre should enjoy. Thanks for the insightful review.

I do enjoy historical fictions; however, this particular book makes me hesitant because of the subject matter, which is pertinent yet heavy. Thank you for your insightful review!

Not exactly a genre I would read. I do not like books about wars or government. Thank you for your review.
