Lyn Andrews (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 2003

For Mary Callaghan marriage has brought heartaches and disappointment. But with it have come joys, the greatest of which are her daughters, Daisy and Nell. Mary longs for them to have the one thing denied to her - a husband who will offer them kindness, security and love. But when Daisy confesses she's pregnant, Mary knows the future looks grim, for the father's a rough, pleasure-loving man. As Nell watches her sister sink into bitter poverty, and as the world around her grows more uncertain, with war more likely by the day, risking all for love seems to Nell a foolish game...

This review is from: A Wing and a Prayer (Paperback)

I will admit that I don't fancy romance novels or fiction. But, I saw this book on a clearance rack. I purchased it for two reasons-- one, I liked the title, and two, it is set during WWII, an era I like to read about. However, once I started reading it, I could hardly put it down.

This book was well written. The character development was excellent. The description of the bombings was magnificent. I could almost feel like I was witnessing it myself.

One mistaken "fact" I saw was that Harry was killed while driving his Corvette, sometime before 1947. The first Corvette wasn't made until 1953.

I liked the fact that it was a good, clean, romance. I think one reason I've never been able to get into romance novels was the explicitness of many of them. This wasn't at all like that and was even classy.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
