Just popped into Goodreads to see if anyone else has read this book. I’m laughing so hard I can’t see through tears. I watched the movie and so I’m imagining Robert Redford and Nick Nolte — but the book literally has me laughing to tears. So excellent! Sometimes Billy Bryson hits and sometimes he’s just a miss for me — but I can see why someone made this into a movie. Back to
The book.

I want to like this book. But I’m at war with myself because I detest third-party omniscient narrators. It’s a pet peeve, but I press on.

One of my very favorite books of all time was written by this pair, Last Christmas in Paris. I really want to love this book, but I think either the historical part of this fiction is too thin, or maybe my expectations are too high. But there is still 1/2 a novel left to turn it around. Fingers crossed.

OMG! This book is giving me my love of falling headlong into a story back … mojo I’ve been misusing for several years!!! Cannot put it down.

I love this book. And I love the prophets who gave all to write it for us. I’m so thankful to parents who lived lives of faith and devotion.

This book has a lot of the things I love. It’s a dual-time line, epistolary novel set in World War 2 and current day. I started it originally a long time ago, but had misplaced my reading mojo. This time, I’m loving it so far. I am probably more invested in the Scarlett and Jameson than Georgia and Noah — but I have a lot of book still left. Here’s hoping it continues to be as captivating.

I’m loving Elder Michael T Ringwood’s talk, “For God So Loved Us”
