I have a love for historical books. If it is based in Great Britain, I love it even more. I was thrilled getting the ability to read this book by Annemarie Brear.
Sophie was willing to give up her happiness for others. She was the Soldier's Daughter. She was determined to carry on through the toughest time.
I really enjoyed the story. I thought Sophie made a few poor decisions that nearly cost her her life.
I recommend the book. It was a page turner.
