This is a dual timeline historical fiction by Australian author Sandie Docker that shifts between contemporary and WWII Tasmania.

The modern storyline involves single mother and musician Sarah who is stricken by grief and guilt when her daughter Melody is injured in an accident. They go to the Redgum River Retreat to seek some healing and solace in musical therapy. In Redgum River Sarah begins to uncover some of her grandmother Rosalee’s story growing up there and working as a photographer in the war sending snapshots of home to the soldiers. Sarah wonders about the significance of twins Albert and Edward in her grandmother’s photo album.

This was a pleasant read and I enjoyed the historical insight about the Snapshots from Home project. Somehow though I found myself not fully able to connect to the characters in either storyline. The storyline also felt a little too easy. 3.5 stars for me. ( )
