Oh, I did love this book. Even the forward by Miss Keyes made me fall in love with France. A young American woman whose heart was broken makes her way into the Red Cross during WWI. She meets a Frenchman of a very good family, and life brightens considerably. Skip forward to the beginning of WWII and see what changes are brought about by the arrival of the German Army and the loss of family and friends. ( )

This was my introduction to romantic novels - junior high and a well worn library copy. I have no idea how it stands up to time since I'm not about to mess with those good memories. There's no telling how many times my best friend and I re-read this book - guess I'll never forget Constance and Tristan's story. ( )
