Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What if war separated you from your true love? What if you married the wrong man? What if the power of love brought you together again? This book is inspired by a true story. Setting is WW II. It is written with two principle players: Rosemary and Albert. and fluctuates from one person's view and life to the other one's view and life. I am giving this 5 stars. I thought of my own dad while reading this. Albert could not talk about the war after returning home as it was just too painful. My dad never could talk about his WW II experiences either. In fact, it was after his death that my Mom and I found medals that he has been awarded. Neither one of us knew this at all. Khristy in her own words said that she included the good , the bad and the ugly in this story and she did. I highly recommend it. ![]() Rosemary was very afraid this would happen to her loved ones. She already felt abandoned by her father, who was in a tuberculosis sanitarian. Knowing that he did not chose this, did not help her feelings. Rosemary and her brother Junie (William Junior) were very close. Despite his being needed at home and Rosemary's objections, he felt compelled to enlist. She thought her heart would break from the fear and worry. When she meets Albert, it truly is lust at first sight. When she learns he has enlisted and will be leaving she refuses to marry him before he ships out. They received word that Rosemary's brother had been injured and had lost his right leg. After many months went by no word was received about Albert. Rosemary knew in her heart he had been killed. This was a very emotional story. Rosemary was a young girl who had to become an adult early on, due to the circumstances. It was hard for me personally to except a 16 year old drinking, smoking and thinking about marriage. I had to remind myself this was a different time and it was during the war. I thought the story was very well written and the characters were very believable. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Early Review LibraryThing. The opinions expressed in this review are my own. ![]() keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
What if war separated you from your true love? What if you married the wrong man? What if the power of love brought you together again'.When Rosemary meets Albert it is instant chemistry. But it is also the summer of 1942, and scores of young men-Albert included-feel compelled to enlist to fight the war against Hitler. Albert wants to marry Rosemary before he leaves for Europe, but she just can't commit. Like so many young women of her time, Rosemary finds herself left behind to work and worry, desperate for love but frightened of abandonment.Three years later, and with Albert's fate still unknown, Rosemary meets Harry, a charming and handsome man. Rosemary feels guilty for spending so much time with Harry, but she has all but lost faith that Albert will make it safely back home, especially when she receives news of her brother's serious combat injury. Should she wait for Albert, or settle for second best?Inspired by a true story, Rosemary in Bloom explores faith, forgiveness, enduring love against all odds, and the difficult decisions that strong, smart women on the home front had to make during World War II.
