First of all I feel I must say that I usually don't read books set during WWII as it is not a period that I like.  That being said, I downloaded this book a few months ago when Amazon was offering it for free....I see that they are still doing so.  I finally read it today, and I thought it was wonderful!  It's not so much that the writing or character development is so terribly fantastic, it is a very short story after all (though IMHO it is well written), but the story itself is so heart-wrenching that it made me cry!  The book blurb is pretty spot so there is no need for a summary.  Suffice it to say that the story is set in present day (some 60 plus years after WWII).  We are told about Catarina and Phillip's first meeting and given glimpses of their time together right up until the time they are parted, through flashbacks.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  Be forewarned that this story is only about 37% of the book.  After that there is a brief note from the author, and she has included a bonus short story, which I have yet to read.
