Had never read the classic. Took my a while to get through the Iliad and then this story of Odysseus. Enjoyable, classic story - now I’m ready for the movie!

Great read that made me laugh out loud but yet was insightful with just the right amount of inspirational.

Really enjoyed this one. Excellent and challenging themes to think through. Very well written.

a scam.

Wild ride. great introduction to this writer. 2 is always better than one.

Contains lots of letters.

Excellent historical fiction of first woman veterinarian in England. Was pleasantly surprised to find how accurate the "fiction" was!

SO good, just as good as any other TJR book. The chemistry between the characters was amazing throughout the whole book, and she explores forbidden love so well. Not as good as Evelyn Hugo, but the found family made up for it.

To be honest, it went in and out of being so good and struggling to stay entertained. I loved the parts that took place more in the tension of the war than her life outside it. I like it showed you how people had to try and live their lives despite missing family members whether due to torn loyalty or war or death and battles being fought just outside their small towns, but I struggled to stay interested in these parts. Also the romance between Mae and Rhys started out so good... then got rushed and boring... then a dose of realism in making a marriage work. My favorite part was sadly a side plot and a missed opportunity in my eyes to really amp up this story. Coralie and her plot should have been more front and center with more scenes and tension in my opinion. We were told more than getting to experience the parts we did get. I was kinda let down in this. In the end, this was a solid read from Laura Frantz, but this was no "The Colonel's Lady" which maybe is unfair, but I know Laura is so good as a writer and felt some of the chances she didn't take left me frustrated and only to like this book I wanted to love.

This was an interesting book. Had no idea where it was headed and then BAM ... good read!
