A decade
after the war, its devastation still haunts them...
In the summer
of 1955, a young nun awakens in Johns Hopkins Hospital
after suffering an overdose, unable to remember the events
that brought her there. As she recovers, she becomes the
center of quiet struggles among those who surround her:
her brother, a former GI still stung by betrayal during
his years of service; her sister-in-law, a beautiful woman
seeking love at any price; her confessor, a Jesuit priest
who lost everything during the bombing of London; her
nurse, a war widow whose sunny optimism leads to repeated
disappointment; and her doctor, a psychiatrist beset by
survival guilt and doubts about his profession's ability
to heal. Suffering from unseen war
wounds ten years after the fighting ended, they each find
their way to a very personal peace.
MY REVIEW
This isn't the kind of book I would really read but I decided to give it a chance and I am glad i read it.
This book is very well written and draws you into the story. I started reading this one morning and i just couldn't put it down.
I give this 4 out of 5
*I received a free copy of this book for my honest review*
