Product Information

Overall I enjoyed this book, I got pulled into the lives of the Fry family, I liked how we followed different characters in different locations.

She trains as a nurse and enlists in the army and is sent to Egypt and Gallipoli to care for wounded soldiers. Etta and Carlos are living together in Naples, and Carlos joins the second army thirteenth infantry division and a pregnant Etta goes to stay with her mother’s cousin Stefania in Capri.My thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invitation and support, and to the publishers for my advance reading e-copy (provided via netgalley). Her character is the epitome of determination, but she faces difficulty while trying to operate her own clinic. In alternating chapters highlighting Christina and her three daughters, readers get a sense of history. Love in a Time of War’ by Adrienne Chinn is the story of three sisters during wartime, how the inconveniences of war can shatter dreams and promises, disguise lies, hide secrets and offer opportunities previously unimagined.

I could picture some of the scenes and characters in my mind when reading, and I think the author has done a great job of making them come vividly to life as she wrote their stories. Eighteen-year old Jessie is studying at nursing school and has been offered an amazing opportunity of which her mother disapproves. I wasn't too sure how I would like it, since the beginning was a little slow and I had a hard time getting into the story.Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not! Love In A Time Of War follows the three Fry sisters through the long war years, it was a time of great change, young women left home for the first time, traveled overseas unchaperoned, employed in jobs that men traditionally did and many decided they were no longer happy working as domestics. Celie helps her father in his photography studio, and he’s busy taking portraits of young men going off to fight in, The Great War. Their relationship turns to romance, and Jessie has to decide whether to give up nursing and be a married woman (the two things are not compatible in those days).
