compelling read!
Published by gail gnome , 2 years ago
the book is fascinating to read, and the love stories are happy endings for some. the brides escaped the bombings in europe but some had severe culture adjustments. no running water, outdoor latrines and some were not always welcomed to Canada. i love to read history about World War II because it really wasn’t covered in school.
