Description

Khalid she’s forced to decide if falling for him is worth breaking her promise to remain dedicated to her career. Living in comfortable means with their parents, Christina and Gerald in Clover Bar, London, none are prepared for the harsh realities of the impending Great War and the locations it will lead them to.

Having never read any of this author’s works before, I thought the story was well-written and a story that draws the reader into the lives of the Fry Sisters. Her latest novel, Love in a Time of War, set during WWI, is the first in a series of three books based around the changing lives of three English sisters and their half-Italian mother, with a timeslip to 1890s Capri and London. Following the lives of the Fry Sisters (Cecelia, Etta and Jessie) and how the war changed them as they find romance and love during the war. Jessica’s determination to forge her own path in life and be judged on her ability rather than her gender, represents the independence that many women were fighting for.Adrienne Chinn was born in an old paper-making town in Newfoundland, and grew up in rural Quebec and Montreal. The letters exchanged by the girls and their parents and loved ones fill in the gaps but keep the mystery going. My thanks to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invitation and support, and to the publishers for my advance reading e-copy (provided via netgalley). Adrienne Chinn’s Love in a Time of War is a wonderful historical novel that effortlessly draws readers into a beautifully evoked world of secrets, jeopardy, hope and love.

The story of Christina and her three daughters takes you to many places, from Capri to Cairo, through love lost and found. They also serve to demonstrate that, in war, soldiers on both sides experience the same level of fear and anxiety and face the same moral dilemmas. As might be expected from the first instalment in a trilogy, Love in a Time of War ends at significant moments in the lives of the sisters.Fifty Shades of Grey" gets high marks on my favorites list -- not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I’m keen to start up some writing/exploring retreats in Morocco in the future once things stabilise.

Where were you when you first heard about your very first publishing deal and how did you celebrate? Celie’s is the most obvious, becoming involved in organising marches for Millicent Fawcett’s National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies and, later, writing newspaper articles and taking photographs to publicise the vital contribution of women to the war effort, such as those working in munitions factories. It was one of those rare books where I became so caught up in the characters and their story that I really didn’t want it to end – and I couldn’t be more delighted that this is the first in a planned trilogy, and that I’ll have the opportunity to immerse myself in their lives and experiences once more. The scene is during war time 1913 over a span of approximately six years and is told through the perspective of the Fry Sisters, Cecelia, Jessie and Etta.
