In this sampler, readers begin to know two sisters, Adele and Amelia. The story begins in the WWII era. The opening scene is of a wedding in 1945. Which sister is getting married? She is pregnant and about to wed an American. The story then flashes to 2015 and goes on to take place in the two time periods. I think that the character in 2015 is the granddaughter of one of the sisters. The novel’s Cornwall setting was appealing. To find out more, I will need to read the full book. Other readers may want to do the same.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this sample of the novel. All opinions are my own.

Just a sampler, but it grabbed me and I look forward to reading the rest! Absolutely captivating and lovely writing!

Review: This is war story based around two sisters. This is my first book I have read by Liz and it was good. It is a busy book with lots going on but that does not take anything away from the reading experience. It is beautiful written and you would like this if you like a tale about loss and reconciliation and family.

This sampler captivated my attention...looking forward to reading the rest of the story!

looking forward to reading the rest of this book. good read so far

I didn't realize when I requested this that it was so short, but what there was of it was very sweet and endearing. I would be very interested in seeing where the book would go along with the characters. Definetely could be something very special if done right.

I'll admit that I clicked eagerly on netgalley before reading that it was only a sampler. The small sample that I have read has made me even more eager to buy this book. I love Liz's books and did mean to buy this one to read on my holiday. I will definately be buying it the next time I go shopping.

Based on this very short sampler, I will probably buy the book. Could not recommend until I've read more.

As this was only a sampler, I can only say that, based on what I read, this promises to be a good book and I will check Amazon and my library.

Only one chapter so not really much to go on but what I did read was interesting. Can't really say much about the story as I only got the beginning of the book.

This was only a sampler but what I read was good, intriguing and well written. I am familiar with books by Liz Fenwick which I have enjoyed. I would have liked the sampler to be a little bit longer than the first chapter, nevertheless I will most probably add it to my need to read pile.

I was drawn to this book from what the synopsis said about it being a story of two sisters in wartime Cornwall. I love stories about the bond between sisters and also historical fiction. The comparison with Kate Morton's books also had me requesting this from NetGalley.

This book seems like it could be a sweet wartime romance, but the sample is quite short so we don't get much of an idea as to how the story develops.


That said, I did find that the part of the story that was told did make me want to read more.

I was also interested because it talked about the Falmouth area of Cornwall with which I have some connections because my sister studied there and I have fond memories of trips to the area this was the first sample of a book by Liz Fenwick that I have read, and I am pleased to have been able to access it which was sent to me via the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review .

Because this is a short sample, I find it difficult to give a proper review but what I have read of the book seems interesting to me and it has left me wondering what will happen. I do feel like the scene is set well but want to know more about the characters and would like to read the whole book.
