3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book on WW1, passible romance.,
By
This review is from: Cornish Harvest (Hardcover)
Rosemary Aitken's "Cornish Harvest" does a good job of portraying the hardhsip of war(in this case World War I) on the homefront(Cornwall, England). Almost everyone suffers, because a loved one is killed, or sent home hopelessly broken, in addition to the rationing and the taking of certain assets by the military. Our heroine, Lizzie, tries to make her way through all of this, by first training to become a nurse, and when the actions of a spoiled rich girl sully her reputation, she joins a farming corps. The characters are richly drawn, but the romance feels a bit forced. All in all, a good novel
