Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Berg takes us to Chicago at the time of World War II in this wonderful story about three sisters, their lively Irish family, and the men they love.
As the novel opens, Kitty and Louise Heaney say good-bye to their boyfriends Julian and Michael, who are going to fight overseas. On the domestic front, meat is rationed, children participate in metal drives, and Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller play music that offers hope and lifts spirits. For Kitty, a confident, headstrong young woman, the departure of her boyfriend and the lessons she learns about love, resilience, and war will bring a surprise and uncover a secret, and will lead her to a radical action on behalf of those she loves that will change the Heaney family forever. The lifelong consequences of the choices the sisters make are at the heart of this superb novel about the power of love and the enduring strength of family.
Customer Reviews
Dream When You
While the writing and content of this book are very interesting and well done, the horrible reading of it makes it very hard to listen to. This is a text book example of why these recordings need to be professionally done. It is the author herself who does the reading. She speaks with an irritating, constant speach pattern. Even a starting theatre student knows better than to speak and read like this. I feel ripped off and wish I could return it. Elizath Berg needs to stick to writing and leave the reading to professionals.
