Jeannie’s War by Carol MacLean | Book Review
Set in Glasgow at the beginning of WW2, I found I couldn’t put it down. It is a quick read, but one that is beautifully written. Here we find Jeannie and her family as they face the hardships of war. What everyone thought was going to be a short war dragged on for years. When…
Beauty Among Ruins by J’nell Ciesielski
I love reading any book that takes place in Scotland whether it is in the past or present. There is just something about it that makes romance all the better in my opinion. In this one we are in 1915 and Lily Durham has been sent to England in order to find a husband. However,…
