This was a nicely done historical and inspirational romance. I have no idea how accurate the details were for the WWI period, but as it's a period I read very little about, it was a novel setting for me. The faith part of the book didn't seem overdone — at the very least, I didn't feel like I was being hit over the head with it constantly, and in any case, it was nicely woven into the character arcs.There's not really much more that I can say about this book. It probably won't stay with me over the years; I think its long-term impact on me will be that it's somewhat forgettable, as I'm having a hard time even now recalling if any of the scenes really struck me hard. I remember the scenes, the story, but I can't recall if any of it moved me emotionally or provoked me to think. However, I can say that it was a really enjoyable read for me.Finished reading April 2, 2011. This was a good story about occupied Brussels during WWI. The book revolves around Isa whose family home has been taken over by a German Major. Her long time friend Genny whose husband was killed by the Germans, Genny's son Edward who is running an underground newspaper. The book explores the humanity and losses to both sides of the war. There is danger, romance, secrecy, rebellion, fear, bravery - pretty much the gamut of human emotion. The story is well told and hard to put down.
