What would you change about the chapters describing life during the war? More details to it or less descriptive? Much of the story is a narrative. Do you like the narrative?



I would have liked more information about this time as this is where I felt the women were having to be courageous. This part seemed to be almost slipped over.


I truly wanted to concentrate more on the characters lives following the war. I would say it could have used more information about the time they were going through deepest struggles but intentionally moved forward as to make it a read for all audiences and not geared towards mostly historical. The book was categorized as a Christian fiction with a historical theme. But I see where Bev is coming from here. Yes, the hospital stays after childbirth were many after your pointing it out. A slip up on my part. I am writing a second novel now and am including much more one on one conversation between characters. I, too, agree there was altogether too much narrative. Thanks for your honest review Bev. I had not received any like this and it will give me cause to think about restructuring. Surely I would have preferred a rating of three stars but your judgement is altogether your own opinion and I respect that.
