Author Gail Kittleson managed to work in all the historical details of small-town life on the WWII home front, when the war sometimes scarred people’s lives in invisible ways, and folks still searched for life’s balance in a world turned on end. Meanwhile espionage at home was a real concern, and suspicion of one’s neighbors was not taken lightly. I found this to be a very engaging story with lifelike characters I connected to. It hit on all the small town feels as well as historical buttons of interest. It's a very different sort of WWII novel. I would call it kind of a cozy historical, and I highly recommend adding it to your TBR list.
