For Love and Country, by Candace Walters
For Love and Country is a very interesting story about women's role in WWII. Our thanks to the author and NetGalley for the advanced reader's copy.
Book Description:
|
But deep inside, Lottie felt she needed to do something. Amidst a war, she should not be dressing up and attending parties. This feeling was overwhelming. She ends up jilting her fiance and enlisting into the navy where she becomes an airplane mechanic. The book tells in detail her struggle to be accepted and respected by her comrades. It takes the reader through her training and her service at Pearl Harbour. I love the fact that the author takes the time to develop her relationship with her colleagues and superiors, and even describes in detail her many adventures fixing different kinds of engines. |
A wonderful read. I highly recommend to everyone that enjoys a strong heroine in a soul searching story with a bit of romance and a happy ending.
Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
She was new to me as well. It is nice to find new good authors to read, especially being confined to the house as we are. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by.
It is one of my favorites as well. Thanks for commenting ;)
This sounds like an interesting book - love the main character!
It is a great read. Hope you give it a try ;) Thanks for stopping by.
I absolutely have to read this book! Not only do I have a passion for historical fiction, but I am married to a retired airplane mechanic. With his father flying a B-29 during WWII, he has always had an interest in the warplanes of that era, too. Adding to my TBR pile!
This is something that I'll definitely read. Thank you for highlighting this book!
