It sounds so good. I live close to a military base and there are lots of military families in The Girl's school. My father was in Vietnam, but that was before he even knew my mom, so I have no experience living in a military family, but for some reason this book is a must-read for me.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-39205588635991992732011-04-02T10:43:50.367-04:002011-04-02T10:43:50.367-04:00Great review - your review may have convinced me t...Great review - your review may have convinced me to try this one on audio.

I'm glad I kept on with this form of "reading" since I'm loving this story! The narrator is so critical to the success of it!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-52387296519217314712011-03-30T10:11:56.355-04:002011-03-30T10:11:56.355-04:00Wonderful review, I've been wanting to read th...Wonderful review, I've been wanting to read this book since I first heard of it.

The uncertainty, loneliness, it must just be tough. Great review Sandy. I'm not very big on war fiction but I like that this focuses on the women more so than actual events.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-41777555686345936632011-03-29T20:20:00.371-04:002011-03-29T20:20:00.371-04:00You make such a good point...I do think it is almo...You make such a good point...I do think it is almost a moral obligation to read this book and understand the sacrifices being made by these families.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-79300540599238711912011-03-29T14:51:51.407-04:002011-03-29T14:51:51.407-04:00I'm not a fan of short stories, but I am a fan...I'm not a fan of short stories, but I am a fan of Cassandra Campbell.

I haven't read a lot of fiction centered around this war for some reason. I usually read a lot about Vietnam and WWII, but for some reason, the realism of this book strikes a chord in me. I am going to be adding this one to my list, and I will have to let you know what I think of it.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-70888541243059675222011-03-29T08:43:11.466-04:002011-03-29T08:43:11.466-04:00I agree - one of the things I loved about this boo...I agree - one of the things I loved about this book was that it told more than the soldiers' side of the story.
