While on vacation in Lethbridge AB, I visited the amazing local indie bookstore Analog Books. While there, I met author Genevieve Graham, and she graciously signed a copy of her book and posed with me for a pic!!

This historical novel starts out in WWI France and quickly transitions to post war Prohibition Canada. I will definitely be reading more by this author.

4⭐️ I thought that the book was pretty good and that the storyline was pretty decent, but I felt that the end of the book was a bit rushed. #2022 #fiction #historicalfiction #prohibition #bookreview #bookstagram #wwi #canadian
My reading for the weekend (actually reading for today, as tomorrow my sister is coming out for Father‘s Day) #weekendreading
Love the historical references in her books. This story takes place during WWI and shortly after, during prohibition. It‘s was fun to look up more information on some topics she covered in this novel. A good Canadian author if you like historical fiction.
This was such a lovely historical dual-timeline story centering around WWI and the subsequent Prohibition period in Canada. Bluebirds were Canadian nurses who volunteered during the war (they wore vivid blue dresses). Nurse Adele Savard meets Corporal Jeremiah Bailey when he is injured, and by the time he is returned to the fighting, they have fallen in love and promise to find each other (their hometowns are near each other) following the war. ⬇️
Graham has once again illuminated another part of Canadian history by way of a great story. This time we are immersed in a Belgium war hospital in WWI and then the Windsor, Ontario area during the prohibition years. Great characters, romance, history and rumrunners all together make a great read in this author's hands. I really enjoyed it and gave it 4/5 stars.
