Customer Reviews

A great story about a young woman and her life during war.

I read A Strange Enchantment and thought it was excellent. I loved how the book completely kept my interest. Primrose Harvey is a very true to life character. She makes her reader feel as if they are actually back in time living during world war two. The book really portraits what happened during world war two better than any history book could. PrimRose is very explicit when she tells the reader what is going on in the story. The characters Hilary Denbuck and Eileen Parry also help to make the book amusing and light when it could have gotten very disheartening. I really enjoyed this book, it gave me a much better understanding of some of the things that happened during world war two.

War's change life's, and this book shows how.

This book showed the hardships during world war two. Primrose Harvey adds a year onto her age and joins the land army. The book is in first person and shows the unsanitary conditions of farm life, the long hours with little or no overtime pay, and the loneliness through the long winters. This book strongly shows how many people's attitudes change and how they find that enemy's can become friends.
