Across the Winding River by Aimie K. Runyan is an unusual book in the fact that it is a triple narrative, with multiple, yet sometimes intersecting timelines. Beth is a college professor in San Diego, in the year 2007. Max and Johanna are on opposite sides of WWII and their timelines sometimes coincide and at other times they are completely separate. I'm unsure how much to say without giving away spoilers. Max and Beth are looking for the woman and baby that Max left behind in WWII. Johanna is one of the few female engineers and pilots for the Luftwaffe. For more than that, you will have to read this amazing book. Ms. Runyan did a good job in keeping some of the mystery, while telling the story from everyone's perspective. It isn't just your average WWII book that we have all been reading lately. Thank you #NetGalley for allowing me the pleasure of reviewing #AcrosstheWindingRiver.

A truly fabulous move. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Have never read anything by the author before, but will definitely check out their other work.
A real page turner, couldn’t put it down

What a great book! I thought the story to be different and entertaining. Excellent research and period details. The characters flow from the page. It was a well written story that I recommend to readers who enjoy the WWII era and good historical fiction.
