Any additional comments?

I am new to Lynn Austin books and took a chance because I was interested in the home front during WWII. The story telling is excellent. The characters are developed masterfully--subtly drawing the reader into a tale of strength, change in adversity and the importance of finding friendship in unlikely places. Austin repeatedly shows how things are not always as they seem on first glance. Ideas of roles, expectations and preconceived notions are examined through the daily lives of the characters. It was a positive, redemptive story that was honestly told and completely engaging until the end. A pleasure.

A Woman's Place

Narrator did a fantastic job of distinguishing between all the characters. I would have rated the story five stars if it had not been for the author ending the story very abruptly and left you wondering if there is going to be a sequel - some unanswered questions. Very much enjoyed the story line.

Didn't want this book to end!

Lynn Austin is just sooo good! She has a way of really getting the reader involved in the time period in which her stories are set. She also truly brings life to her characters...it makes you want to know them personally. And of the course the cherry on the top is the spiritual inspiration for those of us looking for Christian novels. Awesome book.

Surprisingly carried away...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! This story took me on an unexpected journey that touched so many parts of my book lover's soul.

What did you like best about this story?

The ability of this author to entertwine these 4 women's varied lives into a rich friendship despite their many obstacles.

Which scene was your favorite?

I felt like the sneaky "bug on the wall" when Rosa's vodka laced peach juice was included in the punch ingredients by her unknowing mother-in-law for her Ladies Missionary Society meeting at her house. I so wanted to join in the rollicking fun as these ladies loosened and giggled their way through the meeting. I'm sure it was touted as the best meeting ever!

2ndly...actually another 1st fave. The scene where Meinhard Kesler, a German POW working next to Jean (who harbors a deep hatred and resentment for Germans) humbles himself and asks her forgiveness for "whatever it is I have done to make you hate me". Kesler recognizes her bitterness as he was once the same...he lost his wife and son to the same war. Jean is unable to accept his plea for forgiveness. The mix of conflictive emotions this interaction brings about has powerful affects. It is dealt more with later in the book.
