I was entertained by the first two books of the series, but not this one. What I liked most about the first two books were the midwife stories and how the author was able to weave in the history of the Great Depression. I was thinking this book would be more of the same but with World War II. There were fewer midwife stories and the World War II storyline was frustrating for me. I’m sure it’s my modern perspective but I really struggled with how Patience and other towns people treated Dan and his decision not to sign up for the draft, afterall he did serve in WWI. Isn’t that enough?! The ending also felt abrupt.
