Ragged Rose by Dilly Court

This is the first book from Dilly Court that I have not enjoyed the only way I can describe it is to stretching a rubber band as much as you can to tell the story and then letting it go to wrap it up not a good one for me sorry Dilly.

Not so good

Was disappointed with this book have listened to many of Dilly Court book and loved most of them but not this one found this one not up to scratch

obvious story.. pleasent but no real mystery

struggle to finish knew the end 6-7 chapters earlier..too much nicely nicely...

read very well though

Another great read from Dilly Court

Listened to on audible I really enjoyed this romantic story .it was narrated well and you feel you are watching the characters in your mind, taking in the poverty of east end of London and the wild beauty of Cornwall . Would recommend this to all Dilly Court fans

Ragged Rose

I found the story very enjoyable and the narration pleasing to the ears and well executed

An unknown part og France

This is the history of "my" France. And I belive every word of it! It could be based on the story og my french/catalan neigbor who is soon to be 80.

I really enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed this book. If you like a good story with a hopeful ending, dealing with complicated issues from the past but with the balance in favour of survival and healing you will like this book about wartime Catalonia.

Great read.

Loved this book. Generations of war time secrets ... Loved the setting too.

THE HARDEST CONDITIONS OF ALL

MY THOUGHTS

Setting: World War II, Seabee battalion (The Naval Construction Battalions) Pacific Theater

Narrated By: Hal Arnold forty years later.

Hal Arnold is only nineteen and he is learning about life from the men in the battalion, this was a battalion of tradesmen, that are much older than him. He is also learning from the daily life of war. These were men who were dedicated to win the war even though the conditions were far from good.The reader follows him while he is on a troopship and crossing the ocean. He meets man that is out for himself and will do whatever it is to get there. His name is Barry Fortune. Hal is young and is taken in by Fortune. He finds a fascination in him. Even though Hal has a different outlook on things they become friends. Then there is a turn, Barry has a girl friend back in the U.S. Hal starts to correspond with her and it eventually becomes more than just friends. The author gives the reader a look into the commander and his outlook on his decisions. I found it interesting that this man was making decisions that were more than not, wrong. He was a steadfast man who thought he was always right. We see how there was discord between all the members of the battalion, from the top to the enlisted men. These men were building roads, docks, etc. These efforts were taking place often during the Japanese shooting at them. A tough, thankless job for any man, young or old. But Hal was just a young, unknowing man, but he was learning, and learning about things that were gut wrenching and tough.The author gives characters that seem to come and go throughout the book. But each character has a part in Hal's life. They all have something to add to Hal's life. Everyday events, bombings, the killing of Hal's battalion friends, the war itself all had an affect on him in one way or another.Probably as the war moved north to the Philippines, he began to discover how the Japanese were changing the Filipinos lives. He starts to share the way they live and soon finds romance with a native girl. The author shows some of the extremely bad things that came out of the war. This story is Hal's coming of age. Most of the story is about things that happened during the war but not pertaining to battle itself. But no matter what happened day to day, it affected the men and it would stay with them forever. Hal learned some valuable lessons during this time in his life. He grew, physically and emotionally.
