First of all I accidentally read the 2nd book first.I was really excited when I saw that this a was book regarding life at home during WW2.I was born in 1940 - My Dad was in The Army Air Core.  He spent the last 3 years of the war in the New Guinea Islands.  He was gone for 3 years before he came home - I remember Mama saying that she was afraid that she would not recoginize him when she went to meet his boat - but of course she did.  I was 5 years old when Daddy came home.I thought the story was ok - a little slow paced and stayed in the same spot for much too long. I was dissapoiinted that there was no mention of ladies fashion change due to the war - shorter skirts and shoulder pads.  There was a shortage of Nylons there fore if you found found them they were very expensve; so women wore  make up on their legs and drew a line up the back of their leg with a dark pencil to immulate the seam.Maybe I expected too much; but it just didn't live up to my expectations.  I've started on the 1st book and am having a really hard time sticking with it.  Sorry, wished I could give a better review!!
