I absolutely loved this story.  The historical war context really made it amazing to me.  It's our world, of course, but for me it's entirely different, too.  I never had to experience any of what happened back then, and some of the concepts and ideas were vaguely foreign to me, but the general tone of the story was amazing.It's a bit taboo in more ways than one, but that added a ton to the story for me.  Naomi was definitely an interesting character, and the tension from her marriage and not being able to see her husband was just arousing on an entirely different level.  I didn't know what to think about that at first, but after awhile the idea really hit me.  She was so excited to see her husband after so long, got stuck on a bus ride, and then... denied.  It wasn't anyone's fault, but then Patrick is there and... yeah...The characters seemed very real to me, which was amazing.  I mean, looking at it from an outside perspective, Patrick was maybe a little bit of cad at first glance, but his thoughts and guilt and potential regrets were a really nice touch.  It made the whole story more urgent and arousing to me, knowing the struggle to be a better person, but stuck in these situations where it's so easy to let your inhibitions go.This was definitely a great story, and if you're looking for something taboo with a nice plot and interesting characters, well, you've found it!
