This review is from: All My Love, Forever: Letters Home from a World War II Citizen Soldier, Written in 1943-1945 (Paperback)

I highly recommend this read to anyone interested in WWII or anyone who has experienced it. I'm 32, and I learned a lot about the war that our grandparents didn't like to talk about. The letters that Mr. and Mrs. Lane left behind are true treasures. It was like the letters were being wrote to me. Very romantic, emotional, sad at parts and happy at most. I don't think I've ever read a book so fast, just so I could find out what was happening next. You'll laugh, cry, and WON'T be abole to put it down. This makes a great gift for anyone. I bought one for my grandmother, and she loves it! My grandfather was in the war, and I know she can really relate to it. ENJOY!!

This review is from: All My Love, Forever: Letters Home from a World War II Citizen Soldier, Written in 1943-1945 (Paperback)

Real life letters from a soldier to his beloved wife and son during World War II, written by two of that soldier's sons. The love and longing are palpable in Lloyd's letters to Irma and David. So many of the humorous, serious and mundane events of a WWII soldiers life are here, along with a look at the war itself and the friendships it created. The book was written with as much love as the original letters.
