Although one might call this a "light read," there's plenty of World War II history and bit of mystery to uncover. The story is told from 2005 perspective of empty-nester Sookie in Alabama and 1940's perspective of wild girl Fritzi in farmland Wisconsin. Ms. Flagg weaves a great tale to bring these two women together.
I read this between some heavier reads while vacationing and it WAS just what fit the bill that day, which happened to be a beach day ... I think this might fit the bill if you need a little something to get through a winter day as well.

my verdict: good feel good read
