Reviews

I loved this book, not only for the knowledge gained concerning a war I knew so little about, but for Catherine Madison's skill in relating both sides of this complex and difficult story. She is truly a reliable narrator, and her interweaving of her father's ordeal as a prisoner of war with her own growing up in a household with a broken and damaged man is honest and generous and truly moving. --Judith Guest, author of Ordinary People
