This Was Tomorrow,
By KateB (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Was Tomorrow (The Williamsburg Novels) (Hardcover)
This is the sixth book in a series of books called the Williamsburg novels. I have been reading and re-reading this series of 7 books for over 50 years. They are my all time favorite books. Each book deals with a war or pre-war action (except the war of 1812) in which the US has taken part from the Revolutionary War (Dawn's Early Light) to the Civil War (Yankee Stranger) to the Homing with is the last of the series and the 4th book which deals with WWI and WWII and the years in between. They are a great source of history. Ms Thane (widow of the explorer Dr. William Beebe) has done an excellent job of research for each of the books. I hope others find them as wonderful, and as entertaining as I do. I have read my old copies until they are falling apart. I was very excited to find they had been reprinted and purchased them immediately.

Against the Backdrop of WWII,
By CLM (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Was Tomorrow (Hardcover)
Stephen Sprague hadn't paid much attention to his English relatives until he and his sister Sylvia (a talented team not unlike Fred and Adele Astaire) head for London to open a new show. There he meets and falls in love with his cousin Evadne Campion. Their romance is complicated by Evadne's unpleasant cousin Hermione and the threat of war from Germany.

Pleasant historical novel,
By A Customer
This review is from: This Was Tomorrow (The Williamsburg Novels) (Hardcover)
I thought this book was the weakest of the series, probably because the main female character was not as likeable. The setting in Britain in World War II was very well done, and the book does make a nice transition for Homing. If you have read all the others, you need to read this one.
