I really enjoyed A Widow's War. While I found it to be a slow start I thought that Sally Gunning captured the era quite well, even down to the speech patterns of the characters. It was interesting to find how connected her family was to the area. At the end of the book she explained her research, her reasons for writing this particular story and how the past is connected to the current especially the geographic layout of the towns. Can't wait to meet tonight with the other members to get their feedback.
