I really enjoyed this book from the first page, although at first it would tell me more about knitting than I wanted to know. Although the ladies knitted some more, the author didn't go into details after the first session. Although I wasn't sure about reading about the guys, it did turn out to be important. All in all, I thought this to be one of the best books on WWII I've read, having both a home front and a soldier story. Knitting socks for the boys every Saturday night at what Margaret, Dottie, and Gladys called The Sock ‘Em Club helped ease the pain of missing their loved ones. These friends shared everything, and they actually shared a big secret Dottie had. This secret was going to be kept under wraps as long as they could. Other things happening were that Margaret was carrying on correspondence with an unknown soldier, and it was turning into more than just correspondence even though they hadn’t met. And wonderful Gladys always wanted to be independent, but can she always be independent? Three lovely characters to fill your heart with joy as well as sadness in this marvelous new book by storyteller, Camille Di Maio. You will laugh and cry along with the characters, but mostly enjoy meeting them and sharing their lives. Bring along some tissues, but it is mostly a lovely book that will make your heart swell. 4/5 This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Margaret Beck is proud of her work at the Brooklyn Navy Yard sewing stars onto the Stars and Stripes, but she yearns to contribute to the war effort more meaningfully. She's angling for a promotion to the mechanic section, but she doesn't want to wait to make a difference. So with her two best friends, she decides to start a knitting club, where they will knit socks for the boys at the front. Thinking of the young men so far from the comforts of home, Margaret slips a note into her first pair of socks, offering a connection to an unknown soldier that will forever change her life. For Thomas Powell serving his country was not only his duty but an honor, and he wore his Army uniform with pride. Yet being on the frontlines, witness to unspeakable tragedy and despair, has shaken him. The one shining light is Margaret's letters-written to his best friend William. When William is killed, Tom doesn't have the heart to write the warm, generous, and hopeful Margaret and tell her the news. Not about William's death and not about the way he's fallen in love with her-across an ocean, amidst the darkness of war, and through the letters she never intended for him. Instead, he picks up his pen and responds to Margaret's latest letter, signing it William. As the war intensifies, so does the affection between Tom and Margaret, and Tom knows he owes her the truth. But as he heads out for his most dangerous mission yet, Tom wonders-will he ever get the chance to tell her?"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

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. ( )
