4,75 stars - English Ebook -- antisipation trillend a song in her heart, but the tune felt thin, a single line of melody with no harmony to make it sonate.- Two people meet at a wedding. Their world could not be more apart. They fall in love but she is going to get married to someone else and he is of to war. How will this end? I loved this read. It took me to a time where it counted what you say and do. Honnor and love. A good combi for me. - Nah. Gotta get used to the could. B-17s fly at overI regret I wasn't born during the Roaring Twenties so I could experience the 1940s as a twenty-something. I love this era. As I continue to decorate my house - built in 1930 - I can't help but continue to add little vintage design nods to the 1940s. When I cook in my vintage-inspired kitchen, I usually have Pandora radio on to "The Andrews Sisters" channel I created - complete with an apron donned of course.So, it should come at no surprise that I really enjoyed reading book one of the "Wings of
Why in the world did I not pick this book up sooner! A Distant Melody is now one of my most favorite books EVER! I absolutely loved it!!! (sorry if this review is a little all over the place!)From the perfect cover to the story inside, this book was phenomenal! What can I say? When I read the very last page, I was sad because I didn't want it to end! Allie and Walt "Preach" are so wonderful together! These two main characters came alive to me, they were very real and really just the best! In
Wow, wow, wow! As the characters in this book would say, "What a swell read!" I am a big fan of WWII fiction and could actually hear the characters talking as I read this book. It made me think of the old movies set in that era. I felt like I was living within the pages because the setting was so well done. While this was a thick novel, don't let it deceive you. I zipped right through it in a few days. I can't stand it when books drag on forever and this one didn't slow or lag at all. It was the
A chance encounter during her best friends wedding is sufficient to revolutionize Allie Millers life. Why does she have a feeling that the charming pilot Walter Novak is able to understand her more than anyone else in the world? What would her boyfriend think if he knew that she feels something special for this young man that she has known only for some days? Accepting to write him some letters to cheer him up during the war may be the worst decision of her life. Or maybe the best?Sarah Sundins
When I began this book, I thought it might get three stars. Halfway through, it got bumped up to four. That's why you read the whole book- it was definitely a five-star book for me. I had two (minor) complaints: the beginning and the end. The beginning felt too modern for me, with the talk of boyfriends, attraction, etc. I'm not sure why, but it lost that feel quickly. Then there was the end. It was fine, but a little cliché and unrealistic. I don't know how often people jump of trains, but it's
Okay.. So I know a lot of you are going to not believe I could possibly rate this book one star-and I didn't think I would either-until I got near half-way through the book. I wasn't going to give it a very high rating, due to the fact I didn't like how Walt thought about her legs and how she looked in her bathing suit.And all the immoral characters in the army-I know it's there, but older books have more tact in portraying an evil character. I did love the characters Allie and Walt though-so
