A joy to read

I really enjoyed this book. The author presents a gallery of people who you get to care about. She moves the story forward logically and in a comfortable pace and ties up everything nicely in the end. A story about how people manage to move on, overcome hardship, and how people can help and support each other. At the same time, the book captures the time period and the feelings of young and old people in the beginning of the 1950s. Based upon reading this book, I am going to order the rest of the series, and I look forward to curling up in a comfortable chair with them.
