I'm always intrigued by portrayals of World War II that focus on some of its less discussed aspects like the participation of countries such as Canada. This sounds like an interesting mix of historical fiction and romance, so fans of both genres should find plenty to enjoy. Thanks for the review!

I almost picked up the book as I've seen it on offer, but at the time, I was not much for reading historical books. After your great review, I'll definitely pick it up if I'll see it on offer once again.

What an interesting premise! Finally! When I saw the cover, I thought this might be just another WWII love story. (There is a spate of them out there.) But, this soldier's going to Canada to find his love is a fresh plot. Thank you for your review of this one!

Yes! That is what caught my attention about this book. Even though it is a war story, the setting made me rethink WW II allies and see the war in a completely different light. I hope you enjoy this one! Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, what a pretty original storyline. I must read it ASAP.
Way to go, kdstrack. Amazing review.
Heart! We will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

Wow, I really like the concept of this book. The Canadian contribution to WWII is something I haven't really read about before. I hope the author cleans up the errors. Great review!

Although romance amidst war is common in novels, your informative review gave me something to be excited about in reading this book. Nice!

Interesting, you never really think or read much about Canada being involved in World War II. Sounds like this book might provide a unique historical perspective that is often neglected

The author did a wonderful job with the aspects you have mentioned. I enjoyed the unique perspective about the war and the building of the romance without either one overwhelming the other. Hope you have an opportunity to read this book. Thanks for commenting!
