I highly recommend this captivating dual-time novel featuring Quenby, a present-day newspaper reporter, and two children, Dietmar and Brigette, during World War II. Rather than telling the story of different characters in each time period, this novel starts near the beginning and end of the same characters' stories, and the reader journeys through the middle of their lives. It's a fascinating exploration of parental bonds, trust and forgiveness, love and friendship, and political motivations in times of war. The vivid descriptions of time and place made me feel as if I was experiencing everything along with these amazing characters.
Daniel has been searching for Brigitte since they were separated during World War II. As a wealthy older man, he hires journalist Quenby and his lawyer, Lucas, to find his friend. I thought this book was interesting, and liked the back and forth telling of the story (1940's and present day). I'm looking forward to the author's next time-slip novel.
