Synopsis
At the height of the London Blitz, Viola Craft, a sexually repressed young woman is trapped in a loveless marriage to her God fearing husband Vernon. She spends her days working in her mother's dress shop while Vernon pulls the dead from the rubble with his rescue crew. Their marriage is turbulent and Viola feels pressured to bear a child. After failed attempts, Vernon believes she's barren and alienates himself from their marriage.
One night during an air raid, she meets alluring German born Kristoff Richter. They make an in-stant connection. He's young, good looking and emphatic. They embark on an illicit affair that leads to tragic consequences.
Five Boundless Stars
I have to say this book had me on page one. It is a story of love and war, pain and heartbreak, survival and revival. It really had me to the point I just did not want to put it down. Viola in her own right is lost. She is living in the time of war and with a husband who tries to care but falls short. She falls in love with another man and together they become a family. Loss after loss brings her to her final destination and to me as a reader it seems like a place of much needed peace. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the setting and I had a love and hate for the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
