"Two women forge a friendship during WWII through their letters to each other, allowing them to survive the loneliness and uncertainty of waiting on the home front and giving them the courage to face the battles raging in their very own backyards."

I loved this book, and the format of telling it through the letters these two women wrote to each other during an extraordinarily hard time in their lives. The friendship and the support they showed to each other, and others in their immediate circles, was so heartwarming. This book dealt with huge issues, yes, but more importantly, I think, were the mundane daily problems, mostly caused by how lonely they were without their husbands. They grew so much, though, over the course of the book, and I greatly admired their tenacity and inner strength.

I'm giving this book 5 out of 5 stars, and highly recommend it.

5/5 stars.

*** I would like to thank NetGalley, Harlequin MIRA, Suzanne Hayes and Loretta Nyhan for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I'll Be Seeing You has a fresh premise for an overloaded genre, but the focus on the women waiting at home is its biggest strength and weakness all at once. This is a book for someone interested in the mundanities of war. If I had connected with either voice, I think I would have enjoyed this, but without that, there's no plot or tension to make the story interesting.
