Sylvia made me the most sad. Her husband didn’t seem like a gambler but at home he was. And she didn’t think she could make it without him. It made me terribly sad.

Lyn probably moved me the most with her Polio struggle and panic attacks. The poor alcoholic girl (Margaret?) had three children before she left and went back to England. I admired her for facing that and going back.

Ahhhh Rae’s happy ending made me laugh! I’m glad she realized she was too close to that little boy and needed to leave.

Gahhhhh this has gotten rather boring. There are these passages that are obviously just historical regurgitation. And they drag the story down. The writing style is bad enough where we’re just told what’s happening rather then really getting to experience it. I was okay with it at first but it takes away any tension about what’s going to happen next. It’s going to be a struggle to finish this.

More dry explanations but we’re moving closer to the American mice for the other 3.

The first 60 setting up the girls was quite compelling. Right now at the end of the war it got a little dry but it’s still good. I like the alternating POVs and how they pull us through the story. I feel back for the girl with 2 kids and the drunk. I love Rae and how Ray wooed her.
