Book Review: A Foreign Field
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a pretty good book. I liked the basic story line: a young girl (Ellen) during World War II meeting and falling in love with a young soldier. One thing that kind of made me confused was the nightmare that Stephen, the soldier, has several times throughout the book. It repeats itself nearly word for word during the dream and the waking-up part each time it happens.
These characters swear sometimes, but not too much (if you're like me and don't enjoy that, this is just a note...). It's quite a nice book, but I didn't really like the ending very much, or the epilogue. This wasn't because it was poorly written or anything, I just really enjoy happy-happy endings, and this wasn't one of those. Although it is a happy ending in a way, it still wasn't as happy as I hoped it would be.
