It wasn't until about page 250 that I realized this was Part 2 of which I hadn't read Part 1. By then it was too late. Willis had gripped me, which was unfortunate because these have been busy weeks leaving little time for reading.
All Clear isn't Zany Connie. I hesitate to call it Drama Connie. Maybe Noble Connie? Sacrifice. Choice. Acceptance. Joy. This is a powerful, moving story. Her characters end up larger than life, but they didn't start that way. Was it the War? The zeitgeist? Their circumstances? Willis is roundabout in how she lets us see it, but they grow into who they are. And it works.
