A story of war from the perspective of the ones who are at home; the wives, children, parents, friends. The bookfollowd the lives of three friends and the changes they go through as the war claims their husbands, themselves and the world. They lose their innocence but endure changes. They witness civil rights, women going to work, and the beginnings of racial integration. This was a pivotal time in our country's history, beautifully played out by the author.

Very nice--and tastefully done (like LUCY) even though there were painful subjects to deal with. "Lovely" isn't the right word, but it's the right tone for this book. Like LUCY the attitudes were appropriate for the time of the story--there were no super-enlightened folks with modern day PC views. Thank Goodness!
