Took me a little while to get into this, with the cover so oddly being identical to The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle. Also her writing style felt just a little bit ponderous. Really learning to recognize telling vs. showing. But not to the point of real annoyance, so I am glad I continued.

It's a very interesting story, and I really liked the main character, Margaret. Liked the suspense of mixed up identities, as well as what was going to happen to Dottie.

Good time-period color, and her ability to convey the grim desperation of war was vivid without triggering (at least for me). A very enjoyable book to add to my inadvertent fascination with WW2 tales.
