COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Based on a true story submitted by sara on August 8, 2021, 5:55pm Very interesting.

Smith College graduates in World War I France submitted by vickik on July 13, 2022, 10:30am This is a wonderful, complex historical novel about a group of Smith College graduates who go to France during World War I to give aid to French villagers whose homes were devastated by the German invasion. The novel focuses on Kate and Emmie, two friends from very different backgrounds, and how the tensions created during their time in the war zone threaten to destroy their friendship. Author Lauren Willig paints an unforgettable portrait of life in the war-torn French countryside.
