Lisa Vegan’s Reviews > The Silent Women > Status Update

All the way through I've been eager to read any included notes at the end (and was tempted to read them before I finished the book) and yet now I've finished the book proper but I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to read the rest and I might not have time to write a review until at least Tuesday. Impactful story and I want to reflect about my feelings & thoughts.

How had I never before heard of the Ghost Army?

The end of a war is not the end of a war.

I've read a lot about this but somehow up until now I'd missed how Oak Ridge, Tennessee played such a huge role in it.

The history is fascinating. Often with historical fiction stories the fictional characters bother me and I’d prefer a straight history book but at least so far with this book I’m enjoying the characters a lot.

Today is publication day for this book!

Sadly, I’ve had little time to read this past week but I’m hopeful that that I’ll have a lot more time for reading in the coming week.

I started it before bed. I didn’t have time to read more than the prologue, partly because I spent a lot of time looking up 1935’s Black Sunday. I love historical fiction stories that inspire me to look up historical information. Great descriptions that had me feeling as though I was there.
