A lovely romance with a lot of bite. You have a dire situation; a marriage of convenience; two brothers, one an honorable soldier the other an irresponsible artist; a war; and secrets galore. In the center is a young woman who must face stinging realities and her own undecided heart. I've read several of Klassen's novels and this one seems to have more bible talk than usual, lots of praying about something or other, lots of conversations with God, all of it tiresome. But the romance was stellar. 4 stars.
