The Soldier's Wife by Margaret LeroyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This novel definitely makes you think about the fact that you can never really truly know someone completely. More than once Viviene is faced with that knowledge and second guesses what she knows ... or thinks she knows. In one instance, this causes her to lose out on the last chance she ever gets to be with the one she loves. A great story taking place during WWII, gives the reader a glimpse into the lives of people living in an occupied territory, and the challenges they face. Thanks to the publisher for sending me an Advanced Reading Edition. I will be passing this one along to friends!

I read the plot and thought it sounded amazing. I love a good WWII love story. Yet, it is the love story that I had some trouble with. Even though I felt that the author's main storyline revolved around Gunther and Vivienne, their scenes together were so short and detail-lacking. This kept me emotionally distant from the characters, and I never really bought their romance or felt any depth between them. There were more details about Vivienne's garden or her friendship with her best friend than about interactions with Gunther.
