I wrote it, so I think it's pretty wonderful. I hope anyone interested in women's history and/or World War II will give it a try. And remember to leave a review on all your favorite online sites.

This fine family drama deserves all the accolades it has received.

One of the best works of historical fiction I've read. I especially love Weber's representation of historians.

Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation for a good novel about World War II, this is the first one I mention. So much strength and beauty in such a slender novel.

One of the finest novels about slavery I have ever read.

I couldn't put this book down. O'Connor's imagining of the lives of Jefferson and Hemings was totally compelling.

I've been a fan of Jiles's work since Enemy Women. This novel is luminous.

I was drawn in from the beginning.
