In reply to Lynn @ Smoke & Mirrors. I'm not sure he does full-on "uplifting", but I loved his latest novel, Zorrie. Quiet, but stunning.

I read and reviewed this book at the behest of someone else, not necessarily because it was next on my priority TBR list! Though it made me feel many things, I was left feeling hopeless overall for the human race. I don’t know if that was intention, but that was my main “take away” from this book. I would agree that it was a good example of what I term “spare prose.” I will definitely read at least one more of his books, hoping to snag one with a more uplifting theme, if possible. 🙂

This sounds really good. I’ve read so many war time novels and most of the time where a female were a hero (fighting in the resistance, hiding and protecting people) I’ve never read one with a female soldier. This sounds fascinating

I hate to judge a book by its cover, but this cover works for me so much more than the other cover I’ve seen. With this cover I may even pick it up and give it a try.

In reply to Anne Goodwin. It's not a big book, if that helps (I'm always trying to rationalize my reading!).

In reply to Liz. You've made me happy and sad with that comment! Happy to hear about another good book and sad because my TBR pile is out of control! :)

Reminds me of “Daughter of the Regiment” by Stephanie Grace Whitson

I have this on my TBR pile – need to push it up a bit nearer the top having read your review.

In reply to KatieMcD @ Bookish Tendencies. It's not a big book but it will draw you in and hold tight until the very end.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. I didn't read that one bt heard great things about it. This just hit every note perfectly.
