mcpl.wausau | Hi ha 28 ressenyes més | Sep 25, 2017 | Really very good. WWII German POWs are sent to Door County to help in the cherry orchards. Nice combination of history, economic concerns, human interest, inter-domestic/national relations, and a bit of romance. I bought it for the local angle, & was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the story. Def an author I'll be watching for.

I procrastinated starting this book as I wasn’t sure I could get into it. But I was wrong. This is a great book. Set during the summer of 1944, towards the end of WWII, it revolves around the Christiansen family and their cherry orchard in Wisconsin. All the farmers are hurting because the young able-bodied boys are all off to war. How will they harvest their crops? Reluctantly they decide to ask the Army to provide German prisoners of war to assist them. The Army arrives with the prisoners who will be housed on the Christiansen property under guard by US soldiers.
Thus begins the lies and deceptions that will ultimately destroy the family. One of the prisoners, a math teacher back in Germany, is asked to tutor the teenage daughter Kate. Kate is eager to escape the farm and go to college. She is quickly becoming a young woman and has romantic notions. And when the Christiansen son Ben returns from as an injured and very bitter war veteran their world explodes.
Beautifully written by Ms. Sanna the story moves quickly and smoothly taking you back in time to the Wisconsin farmlands. A couple of twists and turns left me scrambling to rethink my anticipated ending. This is a book definitely worth reading.
Thank you to LibraryThing and William Morrow publishers for the advance copy.… (més)

Book starts out in WI and the crop needs to be picked and the government will be bringing in German prisoners (POW's) to pick the crop and work in other factories in the state.
Kate and Josie are teen girlfriends and Kate has to tell her friend about the POW's that are coming.
Josie's parents, Remy and Marta run the lighthouse and the war rations don't effect them as they do the other islanders.
Kate's mom, Charlotte can knit and barters food from her knitted wares.
Enjoyed hearing of the patterns she uses and have jotted down a few notes to try them for myself. Story goes back in time to when Kate was growing up and the adventures her father took her to in the city to experience the city life and shows.
Loved hearing of the harvest as we've just had the tree company in and they removed 2 30 year old pine trees and leveled the yew hedges. So fascinating the tools and maneuvers they used.
Like quotes from poets as Tom recites to Charlotte. Story follows all the characters relationships during the war.
The parents get Clay-one of the German POW's to tutor her in math as she's going to go to college. Tragedies occur and also good times when the family is reunited. So many broken dreams.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).… (més)
