I enjoyed reading this novel. The novel covered all the things I like to read in a novel. There was mystery,adventure,challenges and of course romance. From beginning to the end you didn't know what to expect. I couldn't stand waiting to see what was going to happen next. Well written and very enjoyable.

I truly enjoyed reading this.  Very well written, fascinating main character and obviously well thought out.  I look very much forward to reading the next book in this series.

Chose  this from the April Kindle First choices (or whatever that program is properly titled), and I am so glad I did! This is a wonderful novel. My grandparents came from the same area, but from a different ethnic group, and the comparisons make for a very interesting read. The characters are what make this novel memorable and they are uniquely and beautifully drawn. Some of the passages are so delightful I have highlighted them to retread. Perhaps my favorite character was the race-car driving priest.
Now I will have to read the series from the beginning!

I so enjoyed this novel. I found it hard to put down. I enjoyed the characters and the portrayal of the true messiness of life. This story really conveyed the fact that the best families are not the "perfect" families.

I really enjoyed this novel. The author describes each scene with such a passion that you can almost feel you are living inside the story, admiring the landscapes and savoring each moment. The story is full of messages and personally, identified myself with August and the boys in several occasions. This is definitely a story that makes you reflect and mediate about your own experiences. The only thing that I didn't like is that I expected a little more from the ending, but that's just me. I highly recommend this book.

I truly enjoyed the novel.  We were experiencing bad weather on the day I started to read it. I read it all on that same day.  That's how good it is.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable novel.  I was captivated in the first chapter.
The style was particularly fun.  Moving about from person to person and getting different takes on the same situations was great.
I am recommending this book to my book club for next year's reading list.  I have also recommended it to all my friends.

As one who doesn't usually read time-travel novels, I found this story quite enjoyable.  I truly hope the author adds to this story as I feel there is so much more that could be told.

I really, really enjoyed reading this book. I was not familiar with the Crimean War even though I had heard of Florence Nightingale. So I did a little research on the Battle of Balaclava, the Crimean War, and read-up on Florence Nightingale just so I was more familiar on this time period. This novel is engaging from page one and I didn't want to put it down, literally using every spare moment to read and finish this lovely story. Emily Daniels is a wonderful story-teller. I know I am invested in a book when I can feel the despair of the character and cry along side them. I loved reading about these two characters falling more deeply in love through their letters.

I'm surprised to see a number of negative reviews of this book. I really enjoyed reading this novel, could hardly put it down. I was fascinated by the history and the characters. I feel like folks who read the book and found it tragic and miserable did not read it all the way through, as, without giving anything away, it was surprisingly beautiful and hopeful.

I really enjoyed reading this novel. It was a curious blend of fantasy, science fiction, and mystery that totally captivated me from the first chapter. I am very anxious to read the sequel.
