Wonderful Read!

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

I’m so sad to have come to the end of this wonderful trilogy! I am a huge fan of historical fiction, particularly of WWII genre, and this ranks as one of the best! The characters are so well developed that they truly come to life. The plot weaves the experiences of Americans, English & Dutch from those at home, those fighting the enemy, to those who were in the direct path of Hitler’s ruthless war machine. The story had personal meaning to me, because my mother graduated from Calumet High School, as did Joey and Danny, and I was one of those baby boomers who grew up just west of Chicago, in Aurora, where my mother was a nurse at the hospital that their friend was taken to after the train accident! I also have an elderly aunt from the Netherlands who gets mixed up with our uniquely American sayings. The historical facts are spot on, indicating excellent research on everything from the effects on the war in the Netherlands to the Chicago Cubs and the curse of the goat! I learned a great deal about WWII from different perspectives and gained new insight about “the greatest generation!”

Good closure to the trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have enjoyed Dianne Moody’s trilogy of novels about the experience of the Dutch and the English and Americans whose lives interlaced during WW2. The first novel in the series was a real page-turner and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This one wraps up the series and gives a lot of closure to the families involved.

I gave this one four stars only because the first novel was based on actual events and was such a tour de force. However, the writing is excellent and the plot takes a few unexpected turns to keep things interesting. Excellent author, entertaining stories, and very historically informative about the Dutch experience during and after the war.

Wonderful series about WW2 and good defeats evil. Often I felt that I was witnessing the horrible actions of the Nazis and what they tried to do to Holland. Moody is a good story teller and she weaves the story line from book to book. BTW a love story is involved.

Moving WWII Book Series - Highly Recommended

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

I waited until I finished all three novels before providing this review. I was generally blown away by the scope of the series and the level of detailed story telling, which I thoroughly enjoyed. At its core, this is an amazing love story, which is the glue that binds the entire story line. However, I learned much about aspects of WWII that were in the shadows for me, such as the plight of The Netherlands, efforts to save the starving population, and the “war brides.” Other plot elements, such as the poor treatment of our black servicemen hero’s (Tuskegee Airmen) and the PTSD suffered by servicemen from all countries, civilians, concentration camp survivors, resistance fighters, and others is more well known, but can never be forgotten and dismissed. The author failed to mention that many black service members were denied GI Bill benefits via dishonorable discharge (a travesty). Since my dad served in the European theatre in 1944/45 as part of Patton’s 3rd Army (including the battle of the bulge), my wife’s parents managed to survive Hitler’s monstrous concentration camps, and my dad went to pharmacy school on the GI Bill, I found a lot of common ground with this author’s story. Honestly, I found it difficult to put these books down, so hat’s off to Diane for her story telling, character development, and unique plot elements that are still relevant today. No doubt the was a true labor of love and homage to her father, an Air Force pilot who served in WWII and supported the Netherlands food drop in 1945. Thank god for hero’s like my father and hers!

Only ok

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020

Book one was amazing
Book two was good
Book three about halfway through I was ready for it to be done

Anya was annoying through the whole book, at the beginning I was expecting her to be going through some major mental/emotional therapy at some point, but that never happens, she never really makes any kind of breakthroughs or changes, she just kind of one day is better.

Danny has always been an upbeat lighthearted guy, but still had his serious side and was a likable characters. But in this book he was just a stupid guy making light of everything, and there was no substance to his character at all.

Danny and Anya both had been keeping a secret from each other since book 2 and at first I thought the author has forgotten about it, but when they finally did talk about their secrets, it was like, oh ok no big deal.

And another thing that bugged me was how insensitive they all were to Anyas father and Jacob. Like they just got out of a connection camp and Anya is freaking out about Jacob's manners, and acting like a spoiled brat not wanting to share her father. Then they decided to take them to see firework's?!??

Anyways there were a few good parts but mostly it was allot of repetitive stuff from the first two books, and it was allot more preachy than the first two. There was also the random side story of the rasism which was just more filler.

An emotional rollercoaster

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

This newest installment in The War Series has left me spellbound in a world full of emotional scars. There were times I was certain a HEA was outside Anya's suffering from the war. Reuniting with her flatmates was a lot of fun.
I was thrilled as the lot the McClain family grew. I loved the changes within Anya especially after she returned from Holland.
It pulled at maternal heartstrings and made me mushy and full of hope at the end.

I finally finished book 3 of this series. This book and the others were really good and well written. I recommend them if you want to learn about history during World War Two that is unique. Also Danny and Anya's love story was great to follow throughout the series.🙂

This third book is just as good as the first two. Captivating and real. I will miss these characters and the rest of their happily ever after. What a refreshing series about love, loss, and redemption. I love how the author is unashamed to share the truth of how much The Lord can bring us through the darkest days. Looking forward to reading more of her works. I’m recommending this trilogy to everyone I know!

one of the best series i have read

I loved these books. My father who was born in 1932 came to canada from the netherlands when he was 18. He told me many stories of the war and the occupation of the netherlands. His two older brothers were in the resistance. My father talked about seeing people eating the potato peels out of their trash. This book was very true to the historical facts and i really like that.

Great trilogy ending

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

Your narration gives rise to many thought provoking questions about how people in such situations would have coped. Sadly,many would not have had this ending, but the issues you raised are pertinent and enlightening. Your research has been excellent and as a result given rise to a great set of books.

First of all, I just finished the third in the trilogy…all were interesting stories, well written and most of all “family friendly.” It was so nice that in all three books, God was acknowledged, praised and honoured. Well done!

This is a lovely book,.the last in the trilogy and I recommend that the other 2 get read first in order to follow the story. it's the coming together of a family, separated in war and how they coped emotionally. A very good read
