Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Prayer in Time of War tells the story of Ernie Green’s life from childhood, through this deployment in WWII, and years beyond. The narrative skillfully jumps back and forth in time, but mostly sticks to Ernie’s point of view. While Ernie is stationed in Naples and surrounded by literal hell on earth he somehow manages to fall in love with a young Italian named Preghiera. But love is never simple, especially during wartime.

Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I generally like to read books about people taking walks. This book had some promise but really wasn’t all that interesting. I’m sure that the father and son enjoyed their trek to see the white horses of England but the writing just didn’t grab me. And the book was somewhat short.

Reading this book became a wonderful passage of time
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024
Delving into the mind of a simple Englishman in a time ever so not simple was a pleasure trip of 292 pages. Mr. Clensy has struck a rich vein in the story of the search for happy endings. Parts of faith, hope, life and love are woven into a story that is impossible to forget. FIVE HUGE STARS.
