Barb (Mount Joy, PA)

Quest for love
How did events during WWII in London relate to what's happening to 2 people in London in 2011? The author uses time shifting to tell 2 stories that are ultimately related. She handled the shifts in stories well. At times the prose was not as tight as it could have been. There also were some events that were needed to tie the stories together but seemed contrived. The ending was a bit too pat for my liking.

Overall, a good summer read and has potential for book club discussions about choices made and the quests for love in both times..
