This is the type of mystery that I enjoy! One that's not based on someone's death by gruesome or sinister means. And even better it's non-fiction!
Only a handful of pages where the author's opinions of the mother got very opinionated and a bit much, otherwise very well told with clear transitions between the historical storyline and the current storyline. And I think the author's original story about what it was like in the ‘trenches' was also achieved.
At last, I've finished this damn book! Loved the first part, but goodness me, the military history of part two went on and on. Well researched, but the writing got a bit fanciful at times, making it seem a bit like a fictitious account of historical events. A bit disappointing, particularly as I really enjoyed her first book.
