I came across so much hype for this book that my expectations were high. While I can’t
say I was initially wowed or blown away by the multi-point-of-view letter
format, I did become absorbed in the story by a couple focal characters.
It’s not
easy drawing a group of women of different ages, beliefs, opinions and
life-experiences together into one cohesive unit, but when they realize they need
each other to create something good in a time of unrest, friendships form and
they create beautiful music to battle the wartime troubles.
That’s not
to say everything is rosy. There is a nice blend of ups and downs, good and
bad, struggle and success to keep the reader turning pages. I didn’t really
connect with some of the characters, at least not as deeply as with others, but
still found the story satisfying.
