The late-night call from Mr. Miller would have a great impact on their lives. Germany had intensified its bombings across the country, which greatly cost the Standfield family. Alice had always been considered an odd duck. After being a good wife for several years, she was now putting her husband to rest. At the funeral, she notices a young man who keeps looking at her. Who could he be, and what did he want? With her newfound freedom and obligations she hadn't anticipated, will Alice complete her book on the natural history of Dorset? Since moving to Weymouth, Martin has changed many things, but he is determined to do his duty and contribute to the war effort. How will he cope with these extreme changes and losses? Get a copy of Alice's War by William McClain to find out.
The characters are well developed, giving form to the wonderfully written Alice's War by William McClain. Many books have been written about the Second World War, but the unique perspective captured by this book is marvelous; it gives a view of the impact of the war and the opinions of the civilian population. I loved the flawless flow of the plotline, which left no room for reader confusion, and the easy-to-understand language used by William as the story unfolded. The vivid descriptions of events and emotions made reading this book entertaining and realistic. Another admirable quality of the book is the espoused theme of tolerance. I can't wait to read something else by this talented author.
