About the author
Irina Shapiro
84 books1,136 followersTo write a novel was a dream of mine since I was a child. Life, my practical nature, and self-doubt got in the way, so it was decades later that an opportunity to write finally presented itself. I honestly didn't think I had what it takes to write a full-length novel, but once I faced the blank screen and my fingers touched the keyboard, everything disappeared except my characters and their surroundings, and suddenly I knew that this was what I was born to do.
Since then, I've written many books and have enjoyed some positive reviews, but sometimes, when I stop to reflect, I'm still amazed that I'm living my dream.

As with everything she writes, this is an amazing work.

I have never read any books by this author before, and saw it as a special offer on Kindle so thought I'd give it a go as I was intrigued by the synopsis.
I have to say I really loved the concept of the story, set in both WWII and present day. It was a beautiful love story based in wartime London. Rebecca, living in the present day, kept dreaming of Lily and her life in London in the war and her dreams were so vivid that she had to go to the city to find out more about Lily, and find out how the two of them are connected.
The way the book flows from the past to present day with ease is really well written and I was soon immersed in the story and couldn't put the book down, as I desperately wanted to know where the link was between the two characters.
Gramatically it needed a LOT of tweeking and a better proof reader; and more research needed to be done in relation to the locations mentioned, which is why I dropped it a star; however the well written characters and an intriguing story line, with a twist at the end, keeps the reader hooked.
I will certainly be reading more from this author.

good WWII story
For some odd reason, this version of the book had a lot typographical errors. I enjoyed the story very much. However, I don't think the whole dreaming the WWII part of it was necessary. Just my opinion but I think it would have been just as good without it. The ending felt a little rushed and a little twisted. I can't say anymore without giving the ending away. I have read most of Ms. Shapiro's books now and she is a very good storyteller.

Good story
I felt that it was a little slow moving, and I skimmed over a lot. Especially toward the end. It was interesting and makes you wonder if this could or has happened.
I have read other books by this author and enjoyed them all.

This was a book that desperately needed an editor! Numerous grammatical errors and misspelled words. The heroine was Rebecca in one sentence and Becky in the next with no change of scenery or explanation why. I think my "favorite" misspelled word was Brazier for Brassiere. This was just plain bad. A shame because the actual plot sounded good.

I loved this story. The mystery had me going until the very last chapter and the love story was very moving. I love the descriptions of war-time England and the twist ending. Highly recommend!
